This guide covers the essential steps for creating your verybusy.io account, setting up your workspace, and understanding the roles of workspace members versus collaborators. It also explains how to invite members to your workspace and manage your subscription.


Creating Your Account

You can sign up and create your account here. During the sign-up process, you'll be prompted to enter your full name, email address, and create a password.

Next, you’ll need to verify your email by entering the six-digit code sent to you.

💡 Tip: If you use a Microsoft or Google email, you can sign in using Microsoft or Google Authentication. This option skips the need to create a password or verify your email.

⚠️ Note: If you don’t see the verification code in your inbox, be sure to check your spam or junk folder.

What is a Workspace in verybusy.io?

A workspace is what houses your projects. Each project, in order to not be suspended, must be part of a paid workspace.

Workspaces also house members. Workspace members are people who can create projects that count against the storage of your workspace.

Workspaces have storage limits.

Workspaces do not have project limits.


Workspace Setup

When you create your account, you'll automatically receive a 30-day free trial workspace in which you can create projects.

To find and manage your workspace:

  1. Click your avatar or initials in the top-right corner.

  2. Select Settings.

  3. Click on your workspace from the left-hand menu.

By default, your workspace will be named "[Your First Name]'s Account." You can update the workspace name and upload a logo or picture by visiting the General tab.

To invite more workspace members:

  1. Navigate to the Plan tab.

  2. Ensure you have enough seats for any new workspace members

  3. Click on the Members tab

  4. Click Invite Member

⚠️ Important: Keep in mind, you pay for each workspace member, and the cost per member depends on your subscription.

To add additional storage to your workspace, navigate to the Plan tab.

⚠️ Important: If you sign up via an email invitation to a project, your 30-day free trial won’t be activated automatically. You can manually activate it in your Settings.


Upgrading to a Paid Workspace

When you've decided that it's time to integrate verybusy.io into your workflow, you can take the following steps to upgrade your account:

  1. Click on your Avatar or initials at the top right of the platform

  2. Click Settings

  3. Click on the workspace you are subscribing

  4. Click See Plans


Workspace Members vs. Project Collaborators

When you invite someone to collaborate in a project, they are not added to your workspace. Workspace membership is a special designation for people on your team who should have the ability to create projects that count against your workspace storage.

  • Workspace members can create and manage projects within your paid workspace.

  • Collaborators can only work on the specific projects they've been invited to within your workspace.
