Activating Your Account

Activating your Shoobx account is straightforward and only takes a few minutes! Account activation emails are sent anytime a workflow needing your input, review, and signature is started.

Examples of workflows triggering this kind of email include an offer letter or an advisory agreement. In this walkthrough example, the request for a Non-Disclosure Agreement from new Shoobx user Brittney triggered the account activation correspondence. You can follow these steps to activate your Shoobx account, whether you are an employee, consultant, advisor, investor, lawyer, or other company person.

Activating Your Account in Shoobx

To get started, you need to pull up the welcome email from your company and Shoobx. It will look something like the email below:

1. Click the link provided in the email from Shoobx and your company to set up your account (example shown above).
2. Once on the landing page for Shoobx’s platform, enter a password for your account, double-check that your name is correct, and confirm that you have read and agreed to Shoobx’s Privacy Statement and Terms of Use.  

Make sure the first and last name that appears automatically is the one you want appearing on your legal documents.  It should be your legal name.  If you would like to change what appears automatically, on the screen above you can simply delete the name that's there and type in something new.

1. Check your email for the Email Verification email from Shoobx with your Account Verification Code. The validation code will go to the same email as your invitation.
   
2. Enter the Account Validation Code where prompted on the Shoobx website.
3. Depending on the invitation, some users will be asked to confirm that they are the correct person for the workflow that you are going through (in this case, a Non-Disclosure Agreement).
4. Once you select “Continue,” you will be prompted to finish activating your account. Enter your contact information, including: preferred email address, recovery email address, preferred mailing address.
   

   Make sure your “Account Recovery Email" is an address you will have even after you are no longer with your company. 1) You will use this to access documents after you are done at your company, 2) This is the secure email address where password resets are sent.

5. Welcome to Shoobx! Once you click “Continue” you’ll be taken to your dashboard, where you can see your documents, your profile information, and your workflow status.
