Quickstart
Set up your workspace and publish your first post
Get Firmreader running for your team in three steps.
1. Create your workspace
Sign up at firmreader.com and choose a workspace name. This becomes your team's URL: yourcompany.firmreader.com.
Workspace names must be lowercase, alphanumeric, and between 3-32 characters.
2. Invite your team
Go to Settings > Team Members and invite people by email or connect your identity provider for SSO.
| Method | How it works |
|---|---|
| Email invite | Send individual or bulk invitations |
| SSO | Connect Google Workspace, Okta, or Azure AD |
| Domain auto-join | Anyone with your company email domain can join automatically |
3. Publish your first post
Navigate to Channels > New Channel. Give it a name like "Company News" and set the visibility to your entire organization.
Click New Post, select your channel, and use the rich text editor to write your announcement. Add images, links, and formatting as needed.
Hit Publish to send it immediately, or click Schedule to set a future date and time.
Your team will receive a notification based on their preferences — push notification, email digest, or in-app alert.
