Create your workspace

Every company in Orbit has its own workspace on its own address, such as acme.your-orbit-domain. Sign-up is a short guided flow that asks one question at a time.

  1. 1Go to the sign-up page and enter your name, company and work email.
  2. 2Choose your workspace address. Orbit checks it is free as you type and reserves it.
  3. 3Tell us what kind of work you do and how you will use Orbit, so we can set up the right modules.
  4. 4Open the one-time link we email you and choose a password (or continue with Google).

Your first space

Orbit creates a first space for you, with board columns and labels that match the kind of work you picked. A space is where a team keeps its work, chat, documents and boards together.

  • Add a work item straight from a board column.
  • Drag cards between columns as the work moves.
  • Open a card to add a description, checklist, files and comments.

Invite your team

Invite people by email or share an invitation link from Administration → Members. Invited people choose their own password and can be added to groups as they accept.

Where to go next

  • Turn on sprints for a space to plan in iterations.
  • Ask everyone to check in each morning so the team board shows who is around.
  • Add your leads and deals to the CRM.
