Start a team
A name, an address and you're its admin. Free for up to 25 people, invitations waiting included.
Anyone with an account can start a team: one address for the business, its own Kard at that address, and a Kard for each person on it, all under the team's name and logo. You run it as its first admin. Organizations on eKard explains what a team is; this course starts one.
Start it
- In the app sidebar, press "Start a team". It sits under "Teams", or under "Your organizations" once you're on one.
- Type the "Team name". It goes on the team's own Kard, its page and every team Kard.
- Check the "Address". It follows the name as you type,
ekard.app/acme_studiofor "Acme Studio", and the line under it says at once whether it's free. Letters, numbers and underscores, 3 to 50 of them. - Add a logo if you have one. Square works best, and you can add or change it later.
- Under "Your Kard in the team", keep "Make me one" for a team Kard with your name and email, at a link and QR code of its own, or pick "Not now" and make it later with New Kard.
- Press "Start the team".
You land on the team's page with its address, and an email goes to you with the same next steps the page shows: invite people from Members, import a spreadsheet, and fill in the team's own Kard, the one that opens at its address and its QR code.
A team is free for up to 25 people for now. Each person and each invitation still waiting takes a place; the Members page counts them, as in "3 places are taken (2 people and 1 invitation), 22 are left." To grow past 25, write to hello@ekard.app.
If the page asks you to verify your email
A team's invitations go out in your name, so your address has to be yours. Signed up with an email and password? The page says "Verify your email address to start a team"; press "Email me the link" and open it within 3 days, and you're back on "Start a team". Signing in with Google, resetting your password or joining a team from its invitation counts as verified already.
Limits
- One account runs up to 3 teams. To start another, make someone else an admin of one and leave it, or write to hello@ekard.app.
- Up to 3 new teams a day.
- Deleting a team removes every Kard in it, so eKard does it on request: the team's Settings page says where to write.
Next, bring your people in: one invitation at a time from Members, as Organizations on eKard describes, or all at once with Import your team from a spreadsheet.
