Creating your organisation

Share

Overview

Creating an organisation sets up a dedicated Twake workspace for your company. The process has two parts: creating the organisation itself, then creating the Owner account — your professional account linked to that organisation.


Prerequisites

  • A personal Twake account on twake.app. If you don't have one yet, create it before proceeding.
  • The domain name you want to use (e.g. yourcompany.com). You'll need access to its DNS settings later to verify it.

Step 1 — Start organisation creation

  1. Sign in to your personal Twake account.
  2. Click the settings menu (your profile icon, top right).
  3. Click Create business account.
From your Twake Workplace, open the settings menu and click 'Create business account'.

Step 2 — Set up the organisation

Fill in your organisation's details:

  • Organisation name — the display name of your company workspace.
  • Organisation domain — the domain that will be used to build your members' email addresses and their Matrix ID for Twake Chat.
💡
The domain doesn't need to be verified at this stage — you'll configure and validate it later in the Domain configuration step.
Enter the name and the domain of your company

Step 3 — Create your Owner account

After setting up the organisation, you create your professional (Owner) account — a separate account from your personal Twake account, dedicated to this organisation.

If you use a different phone number from your personal account, you'll be asked to validate it via SMS verification.
