# Create an account

> Sign in with Google, GitHub, or an email link — signing in for the first time creates your account. What the first-run setup asks for.

There's no separate sign-up form. **Signing in for the first time creates your account** — pick a
method and you're in.

## Sign in

Head to the [dashboard](https://app.webhook.co) and choose one of:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Google" icon="google">
    Continue with your Google account.
  </Card>

  <Card title="GitHub" icon="github">
    Continue with your GitHub account.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Email link" icon="envelope">
    Enter your email and we send a one-time sign-in link.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  webhook.co uses Google, GitHub, and email links to sign in. There is no password to set or
  remember — see [how you sign in](/help/your-account/sign-in-methods) for the details.
</Note>

### Using the email link

1. Enter your email address and request a link.
2. You may be asked to complete a quick human-verification check first.
3. Open the email and click the link. It's single-use and expires a few minutes after it's sent, so
   use the most recent one.

## What happens the first time

The first time you sign in, webhook.co sets a few things up so you can start straight away:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tell us your name">
    We ask for your first name (last name is optional) so the dashboard and your team can address
    you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name your organization">
    A brand-new account also picks a name and a short URL for its first **organization** — the
    workspace that holds your endpoints, events, and team. You can rename it or change its URL later
    from the organization's settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You're in">
    Your organization is created for you automatically — with a starter endpoint ready to use — and
    you land in the dashboard. From here, the [Quickstart](/quickstart) walks through creating an
    endpoint for a real use case and sending it your first webhook.
  </Step>
</Steps>
