Confirm your email within 48 hours

Ember sends a welcome email with a button to confirm your address. Press it within 48 hours. After that, Ember locks your account until you confirm, but nothing is deleted. Until you do, a few things wait, such as inviting people and putting your website live. Confirm your email has the details.

If you already have an account

Entering an address that already has an account does not make a second one. The page says Check your inbox, and Ember emails you a link to sign in instead. Open it and press Continue to Ember.

Common questions

Does it cost anything to sign up?

No, and there is no credit card. Ember is free if your budget is under $50K a year. Above that, the price depends on your budget, never on how many people use it.

Should everyone on my team sign up?

No. One person creates the organization, then invites the team. People who sign up on their own start separate organizations.

I never got the welcome email.

Check spam and promotions and search for Ember. You can also confirm by signing in again from the sign-in page, which emails you a link.

Can a business use Ember?

A company can run an employee volunteering program at nonprofits. Ember cannot be used to organize unpaid work for a business's own operations.
