Getting Started

Welcome to the At9 help centre. Here you'll find step-by-step guides covering everything in the app — from setting up your account to managing bookings, availability, and your team.

Select a topic from the menu on the left to open its guides. You can then work through them in order using the Previous and Next links at the bottom of each page, or jump to any guide directly from the menu.

If you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch at contact@at9.app and we'll help you out.

Join an organisation

To join an existing organisation, an admin needs to invite you. Before they do:

  • Make sure you have At9 installed and have registered an account.
  • Let the admin know the email address you registered with.

Once the admin sends an invite from Admin → Team, you'll be added to the organisation. Sign in to the app and you'll have access straight away.
