Account and first workspace

Your Bnder account lets you open the web app, join workspaces, manage user settings, and use workspace features that depend on your identity.

Sign in options

Bnder can support several sign-in methods depending on the workspace and deployment:

  • email and password
  • Slack sign-in for linked Slack workspaces
  • Discord sign-in for Discord-backed workflows

Use the same sign-in method you used when you were invited or when your workspace was connected. If you sign in with a different method, Bnder may treat it as a separate account until the workspace membership is linked.

Email verification

When you sign up with email and password, Bnder sends a verification link before your account can create workspaces.

Open the verification link in the same browser where possible. If the link says Already verified, it was already used successfully within the last 7 days. Sign in again so the app reloads the latest account status.

Invitations

If someone invited you to an existing workspace, accept that invitation before creating a separate workspace.

After your email is verified, Bnder creates your first workspace automatically only if your account is still empty. This does not happen when you already belong to a workspace or have a pending workspace invitation, so invited users can join the intended team workspace first.

You can review pending invitations from User Settings -> Invitations. Accept the invitation for the workspace you want to join, then reopen the workspace list if the new workspace does not appear immediately.

First workspace

The first workspace uses your display name when available.

Workspace admins can rename the workspace later from Workspace Settings -> General.

If you start from a support portal, help center, bug report portal, client portal, email-to-ticket, or Discord support page, Bnder asks what you want to build and uses your product or team name to create starter docs, an example request, and example follow-up work.

Profile and sign-in settings

Open User Settings -> General to update personal account details.

You can manage:

  • profile picture
  • display name
  • account email address and verification status
  • password for email/password accounts
  • browser push preference
  • notification delivery preference
  • app theme
  • app language

Changing your email may require verification before all account flows are available again.

Calendar preferences

Open User Settings -> Calendar to manage personal calendar defaults that can differ from the workspace defaults, when your workspace allows user-level preferences.

This is also where normal workspace members can maintain planned vacation periods and replacements when vacation handoff is enabled. See Vacation Handoff.

Development settings

Open User Settings -> Development for integration settings owned by your user account.

From there, owners can manage API keys and OAuth apps.

Open User Settings -> Subscriptions for subscription-related account actions.

Open User Settings -> Legal to request a download of your account data when the export is available. Bnder prepares the export first; when the archive is ready, the settings page shows the download action.

Delete your account

Account deletion is available from User Settings -> General.

Deleting your account is separate from deleting a workspace. Check Data Deletion before deleting either one, especially if you own workspaces or integrations.

No workspaces shown

If the app says no workspaces were found, check:

  • whether you signed in with the same account that was invited
  • whether your email verification finished
  • whether the Slack or Discord workspace is still connected
  • whether you still belong to the linked Slack or Discord workspace
