Setting Up Your Workspace
Signing In
There is no separate sign-up. Go to the sign-in page, enter your email address, and Omako sends you a 6-digit code. Enter it and you're in — if the address is new, your account is created at the same time. There is no password to choose and nothing to install.
The same page works for everyone: freelancers signing in, teammates accepting an invitation, and clients opening their portal for the first time.
When you sign in for the first time you'll be taken through a short onboarding flow to create your workspace before you can access the dashboard.
Steps
1. Your Name
Enter your own name — this is what your clients see on proposals and invoices, and it is kept separate from your business name below.
2. Workspace Name
Enter the name of your business or studio — for example, Acme Studio or Jane Smith Design. This name appears on your proposals and invoices.
3. Workspace URL
Omako auto-generates a URL slug from your workspace name (e.g. acme-studio). You can customise it — it must be:
- Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
- At least 3 characters
- Unique across all Omako workspaces
A real-time availability check runs as you type. A green tick means the slug is available; a red cross means it's taken.
TIP
Choose your slug carefully — it cannot be changed after your workspace is created.
4. Timezone
Select your local timezone. This is used to display dates and times correctly across proposals, projects, and invoices. Omako defaults to Asia/Kolkata for Indian users.
5. Currency
Currency is currently set to INR (₹) for all workspaces. Additional currencies are planned for a future release.
6. GST Number (Optional)
If your business is GST-registered, enter your GSTIN here. It will appear on all invoices you send to clients. You can skip this step and add your GSTIN later in Settings → Workspace.
7. Referral Code (Optional)
If someone referred you to Omako, click Have a referral code? Enter it here and type in the code they shared. The code is an 8-character alphanumeric string (e.g. ABC12345).
INFO
If the code is invalid, an error appears inline so you can correct it before continuing. An incorrect code does not block workspace creation.
The referral is recorded on workspace creation. When you upgrade to a paid plan, the person who referred you automatically receives +200 XP and the Referral Star badge.
Finishing Up
Click Create workspace to complete onboarding. You'll be taken to your dashboard, which will be empty until you add clients and create your first proposal.
Editing Workspace Details Later
All workspace settings (name, logo, GST number, branding) can be updated any time from Settings → Workspace Settings. The only thing you cannot change is the URL slug.
