Creating a company
You become its admin, with full control over channels, roles and billing. You will be asked for:

Joining a company
1
Search for the company by name
If nothing matches, the workspace may be registered under a different name — ask a
colleague what it is called rather than creating a new one.
2
Send the request
Add a short note saying who you are. It helps the admin recognize you.
3
Wait for approval
You land on a waiting screen that refreshes itself. An admin has to approve you before
you can get in — you can cancel the request and choose differently while you wait.
Approving people
Admins approve requests under Invitations → Join requests. Anyone approved needs a role before they can do anything useful — see Invite your team.Being invited by email is different: an invitation link takes you straight in with the
role already chosen, no approval step.
