Setup guide

Set up Practora in a few focused steps.

Create your account, connect Slack or Microsoft Teams, choose the channels Practora should use, and run a quick test. Your accounting connection comes next, once the workspace is ready.

Time needed

Most teams finish workspace setup in one sitting.

Who should do it

Someone who can install apps in Slack or Microsoft Teams.

What comes next

Connect Xero from the dashboard or the notification channel.

1

Account

Create your account and verify your email

Start with your practice or company name and work email. Practora sends a secure 6-digit code so you can verify the address and resume setup later with the same email.

Workspace

Test

Run the setup test and finish

Practora checks the messaging connection and posts the accounting connection link to your notification channel. Connect Xero from that link or from the dashboard when you are ready.

You can start setup on your own and bring in a workspace or accounting admin when the connection step asks for it.
