Member Onboarding

Follow the member onboarding path from your welcome email through vault setup, first use, and community access.

01

Start With Access

  • Open the welcome email you receive after becoming a member and use it as your path into the guides section.
  • During beta, if you are offered concierge onboarding, book a session with the onboarding specialist.
  • Accept your invite to the private Discord group so you have a direct line to the member community.
02

Set Up Your Access

  • Create a GitHub profile if you do not already have one.
  • Email us your GitHub username so we can connect you to the vault resources.
  • Once you receive access to the vault template, clone the repository and send us the URL of your cloned repo.
  • Add our username, desireco, to the members on the cloned repository.
03

Get Obsidian Running

  • Set up the Git plugin and connect the vault in Obsidian.
  • Set up the vault on your mobile device if you want access on the go.
  • Adjust the vault structure, plugins, and layout to fit your preferences once the base setup is working.
04

Create First Signal

  • Write your first journal entry so the sidekick has real context to work with.
  • Send an email to [email protected] and use it as your first intentional interaction.
  • Ask [email protected] for a few ideas once your vault is in place.
05

Join The Community

  • Join Discord if you have not already accepted the invite.
  • Say hi in the private group so the team and other members know you are in.
  • Use the guides section as your ongoing reference as you settle into your workflow.
