Fix common first-time setup problems

Resolve the issues new workspaces hit most: invitations that never arrive, blocked checklist steps, plan limits, and sign-in methods that still need setup.

Purpose

Diagnose and clear the most common first-time setup blockers so your workspace, first project, and team reach a ready state.

Who this is for

New owners and admins whose first-time setup is stuck on a specific step.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Open the readiness checklist and note which step is blocked.
  2. Read the step's note to see what is missing and who can resolve it.
  3. For a missing invitation, resend it from the members list and ask the teammate to check spam.
  4. For a plan-limit block, compare plans in billing and add credits or upgrade.
  5. For a sign-in method that is unavailable, ask a workspace admin to finish that provider's setup.
  6. Re-open the checklist and confirm the step now shows as ready.

Expected result

The blocked step is resolved or clearly assigned to the owner who can complete it, and the readiness checklist moves forward.

Verification

If something goes wrong

A step stays blocked after a fix
Open the step's note again; some steps need a workspace owner or admin rather than a member.
A teammate still cannot find an invitation
Confirm the email address on the invite, cancel it, and send a fresh one.
A plan change does not unblock a project
Confirm the new plan or credits are active in billing before retrying.

Permissions

Members can resolve their own steps; inviting teammates, changing plans, and enabling sign-in providers need an owner or admin.
