Welcome to Teamly, the platform that gathers all project stakeholders under one virtual roof for fluid communication, to quickly resolve issues and strategize for success. You're probably concerned about leading a team through a big transition. You don't want to lose any ground, don't want to lose information and definitely don't want to lose any team momentum.
Good news! Your life just became a whole lot easier. With Teamly, there's no more missing out on critical messages, no harrowing searches for files within a variety of platforms.
Teamly allows you to thoroughly monitor projects, while at the same time build autonomous and motivated teams. Plus, with features like time tracking, audio message and file storage, you won't need any other application or software. Teamly is the virtual space that no one wants to leave because everything is right there, within arm's reach.
Just like the software, we've made the setup process simple and fluid. So settle in. We're going over the steps to smoothly onboard your crew to Teamly.
Create a Workspace
The workspace is Teamly’s highest tier. Unless you have multiple unrelated businesses, you'll create just one.
Teamly guides you through the onboarding steps to create a workspace, choose a color scheme and invite users.
1. Enter a name for your Workspace
2. Upload an icon for your Workspace or select a color theme.
3. Invite users to your Workspace. Add users email addresses separated by a comma and click Next.
We strongly recommend that you take advantage of this step by inviting a few users, but if you choose to forego it, don't worry. There will be ample opportunities to extend invitations in the app.
4. Create your first project and add a logo.
You're all set! Welcome to the Teamly family!
After creating your workspace, we encourage your team to download the Teamly desktop app for the best experience which can be run on a Mac or PC computer.

Lay a Foundation
Just like moving into a new home, bring in the boxes from your previous softwares and start to unpack them. Things will start to look familiar right away.
Set up Projects
You'll want to create a separate project for all your significant promotions, products and projects.
Owners or administrators can Create project(s) within the left side panel.
Also Create a project by clicking on the ellipsis located on the right-hand side of the workspace name in the top navigation.
Add a title, description, and logo.
When the project is created it will be shown in the left side panel.
Set up Departments
Departments are virtual “offices” where a group of people can discuss a specific topic. Teamly departments allow you to organize team communication. For example, you can create a Support, Sales, Engineering etc... department and add relevant users to them. Departments can be named in ways that make most sense to your organization.
With a business plan, you can create as many departments as you like, as well as determine which users have access to those departments. Every time a message is posted inside a department, everyone in that department is able to read it.
Select a project and click on the + icon next to Departments.
All users will be added to public departments. Individual users can be invited to private departments.
Send a Welcome Email
Reach out to your users with an email that expresses your hopes for the transition that include things like the purpose for the transition, timing for the transition, helpful resources and solicit feedback.
Here's a sample of a welcome message you might send:
