Getting started

How do I sign up and create my community?

Start your community and fill in one form. There is no confirmation email to wait for and no card to enter: you are signed in and on your admin dashboard as soon as you submit it.

The whole thing takes about two minutes.

What you will need

  • The name of your group, for example Greenfield Primary Parent Council.
  • Whether it is a parent council, school, sports club, hobby group or other. You can change this later.
  • Your name, an email address and a password.

Steps

  1. Go to jotterly.co/communities/registration/new.
  2. Enter your community name and pick what kind of community it is.
  3. Enter your name, email and a password, then confirm the password.
  4. Tick the updates box if you want occasional Jotterly tips. It is optional and you can unsubscribe any time.
  5. Click Create community.

That is it. You are signed in straight away and land on your admin dashboard. We send you a welcome email, but you do not need to do anything with it.

You are now an admin of your community, and you can invite other people to help run things later.

What you will see on first sign in

A short setup checklist:

  1. Add a community description and logo so supporters know who you are.
  2. Set a support email so buyers know who to contact if something goes wrong.
  3. Connect Stripe so you can take card payments.
  4. Create your first event.

You can dismiss the banner with the × in the corner once you are done.

You do not have to do these in order, and you do not need Stripe to start building an event. You only need it before you can take money.
