Quickstart

Get started with Ryva in minutes

Get up and running with Ryva in just a few minutes. This guide walks you through creating your account, setting up your first organization, and exploring the workspace.

This guide is for end users getting started with Ryva. If you’re a developer looking to set up the development environment, see the Installation Guide.

Create your account

1. Sign up

   Visit the Ryva signup page and create your account using email and password, or sign in with Google or GitHub.

   You’ll need to complete a CAPTCHA verification for security.

2. Verify your email

   Check your inbox for a verification email from Ryva. Click the verification link to activate your account.

   If you don’t see the email, check your spam folder. The verification link expires after 24 hours.

3. Complete onboarding

   After verifying your email, you’ll be guided through a quick onboarding flow to set up your profile and preferences.

Create your first organization

Organizations are workspaces where you collaborate with your team on projects.

1. Choose a plan

   Select the plan that fits your needs:

   • Free: Basic features at no cost
   • Personal: Individual use with API access ($20/month)
   • Team: Team collaboration with advanced features ($75/month)
   • Enterprise: Custom pricing for large organizations
2. Set up your organization

   Provide a name for your organization and optionally configure a custom subdomain.

   Choose a subdomain that’s easy to remember and share with your team (e.g., acme-corp.ryva.io).

3. Complete billing (for paid plans)

   If you selected Personal, Team, or Enterprise, you’ll be redirected to Stripe to securely enter your payment information.

   Your subscription starts immediately after payment confirmation.

Invite your team

1. Navigate to organization settings

   Click on your organization name in the sidebar, then select Settings → Members.

   Enter team members’ email addresses and assign roles:

   • Owner: Full control over the organization
   • Admin: Manage members and settings
   • Member: Access projects and contribute
3. Track invitations
