Doohick is designed to get you productive fast. This guide walks you through the essential steps across your first five days: setting up your account, connecting a third-party integration, creating your first resource, configuring notifications, and bringing your team on board. Follow each day’s steps in order and you’ll have a fully operational workspace by the end of the week.

Day 1: Set up your account

Start by creating your Doohick account and configuring it to match how you work.
1

Sign up for Doohick

Go to doohick.com/signup and enter your name, work email, and a strong password. Click Create Account to continue.
2

Verify your email address

Open the verification email Doohick sends you and click Confirm Email. You must complete this step before accessing your workspace.
3

Set up your profile

After confirming your email, you land on your profile setup page. Add your full name, upload an avatar, and select your timezone so timestamps display correctly across your dashboard.
4

Configure workspace settings

Navigate to Settings → Workspace. Set your workspace name, choose your preferred date format, and review the default permissions for new team members.

Day 2: Connect your first integration

Integrations let Doohick work alongside the tools your team already uses. On day two, link at least one external service so data and events flow automatically.
1

Open the Integrations settings

Go to Settings → Integrations from the left navigation sidebar.
2

Choose a provider

Browse the integrations catalog and select a provider such as Slack, GitHub, or Zapier to get started.
3

Authorize Doohick

Click Connect on your chosen provider. You’ll be redirected through an OAuth flow — log in to the third-party service and grant the requested permissions.
4

Configure the integration

Once authorized, fill in any provider-specific settings such as which Slack channel receives alerts, or which GitHub repositories to monitor.
5

Save and confirm

Click Save Integration. The provider card will show a green Active badge confirming the connection is live.
If the OAuth redirect fails, check that your browser is not blocking pop-ups for the Doohick domain.

Day 3: Create your first resource

Resources are the core objects you manage in Doohick — they represent anything your workspace tracks or acts on.
1

Navigate to Resources

Click Resources in the left sidebar to open the resource list view.
2

Start a new resource

Click New Resource in the top-right corner of the page.
3

Fill in the resource details

Enter a name for the resource and select a type from the dropdown. The Standard type works for most general-purpose use cases.
4

Save the resource

Click Create Resource. Doohick assigns the resource a unique ID and sets its status to active immediately.
Once created, your resource record looks like this in the API response:

Day 4: Set up notifications

Notifications keep you and your team informed when important events happen inside Doohick. Configure them on day four so nothing slips through.
1

Open Notification settings

Navigate to Settings → Notifications.
2

Select your notification channels

Enable one or more delivery channels — Email, In-app, or Slack (available after you connect the Slack integration). Toggle each channel on or off per your preference.
3

Choose which events trigger alerts

Review the full list of notification events such as resource.created, billing.payment_failed, and member.invited. Enable the specific events that are relevant to your role.
4

Save your preferences

Click Save Notification Settings. Changes take effect immediately for all future events.

Day 5: Invite your team

Doohick is most powerful when your whole team is in one workspace. Spend day five bringing collaborators on board.
1

Go to Team settings

Navigate to Settings → Team and click Invite Member.
2

Enter their email address

Type the invitee’s work email address in the Email field. You can add multiple addresses separated by commas.
3

Assign a role

Select a role from the dropdown — Admin, Member, or Viewer — based on the level of access this person needs.
4

Send the invitation

Click Send Invite. The invitee receives an email with a link to join your workspace. Their status shows as Pending until they accept.
