The signup process includes a validation step to confirm you're a legitimate software business this protects the platform's multi-tenant environment and ensures connector quality for all partners. ### Before you sign up You'll need: * **A business email address** — Personal email providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.) are blocked during signup validation. Use your company domain (e.g., `john@acme.com`). * **A SaaS product** — Fastn validates that your company builds and sells software. Pure consulting firms, agencies, or non-software businesses may not be approved automatically. * **A use case in mind** — If you know which integrations your customers need, this helps you move faster once your account is active. ### What happens during signup Fastn's signup pipeline runs multiple validation stages: **1. Email validation** — Your email domain is checked and validated. If you use a business domain, you proceed to the next step. **2. Duplicate check** — Fastn checks whether your domain is already registered. If another person from your company has already signed up, you'll be directed to join the existing organization rather than creating a new one. **3. Company classification** — An AI classifier analyzes your company based on publicly available information: your website, industry, tech stack, and integration needs. This determines whether your business is a good fit for Fastn's platform. **4. Outcome** — Based on the classification confidence score: * **Approved** (high confidence) — Your account is created immediately * **Provisional** (medium confidence) — Your account is created with limited access, pending manual review * **Manual review** (low confidence) — Your application is queued for a human review by the Fastn team * **Rejected** (high confidence of poor fit) — You'll receive an explanation. You can appeal by contacting the Fastn team directly. Most SaaS companies with a live product and business domain get approved within minutes. ### What you get after signup Once approved, your Fastn account includes: #### Organization Your company's workspace in Fastn. It holds all your projects, team members, connectors, and configuration. #### Project (Space) A project is created automatically within your organization. This is your primary workspace. Each project has: * **Project ID (Space ID)** — A unique identifier used in API calls and widget embedding. It looks like `a1cd1fd0-6399-4294-82e3-67f7ce44d0f4`. * **API Key** — Found in **Settings → API Keys**. Required for authenticating API requests. * **Default environment** — Your initial working environment. You can add staging and production environments later. #### Dashboard access You can log into the dashboard at [live.fastn.ai](https://live.fastn.ai/) immediately after approval. The dashboard gives you access to all sections: Flows, Widgets, Connectors, Triggers, Logs, AI Agent, and Settings. #### Starter plan New accounts start on the Starter plan: * 1,000 events per day * 5 active integrations * 10 flows per tenant * 3 connectors per tenant * 60 API calls per minute * 100 MB storage You can upgrade to Growth or Enterprise tiers from **Settings → Billing** or by contacting the Fastn team. ### Inviting team members After your account is active, you can invite team members through **Settings → Users** in the dashboard. Each team member gets a role that controls their access level: | Role | What they can do | | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **SaaS Admin** | Full access to the organization: connectors, flows, widgets, tenants, settings | | **SaaS Developer** | Build connectors, create flows, manage integrations. Cannot manage billing or organization settings | Additional roles (Systems Integrator, Tenant Admin, Tenant User, End User) are available for more granular access control. See the [RBAC reference](https://claude.ai/reference/rbac-and-security.md) for the full permission matrix. ### Setting up your first project Once logged in, here's the recommended order of operations: 1. **Add your first connector** — Go to **Connectors** in the sidebar. Pick a third-party app your customers use (Shopify, HubSpot, Slack, etc.). Configure the connector's authentication credentials. 2. **Build a test flow** — Go to **Flows** and create a new flow. Choose "On API Request" as the trigger type for testing. Add a connector step and test it with sample data. 3. **Create a tenant** — Go to **Settings → Tenants** and create a test tenant that represents one of your customers. This lets you test the full multi-tenant experience. 4. **Design a widget** — Go to **Widgets** and create a widget. Link it to your flow. This is what your customers will see in your product. 5. **Embed and test** — Use the widget embed code in your product's frontend. Connect an account through the widget as if you were your own customer. Each of these steps has detailed documentation in the relevant sections of these docs. The next page, **Your First Integration**, walks you through steps 1–5 with a concrete example. > **Screenshot needed:** Fastn signup page showing the email and company fields. > **Screenshot needed:** Dashboard state after first login — the empty project view with the left sidebar visible. This is the first thing a new user sees. > **Screenshot needed:** Settings → API Keys page showing where to find the API key and Project ID. Highlight both values. > **🎬 GIF needed:** Inviting a team member through Settings → Users — clicking invite, entering email, selecting role, confirming. *** **Next:** [Your First Integration →](https://claude.ai/chat/your-first-integration.md) — Build a working integration from scratch in under 30 minutes. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
