Quick start

Sign up for an account

While filling out the signup form, pay special attention to the website URL field - this URL is supposed to be a domain name of the website where you plan to include the Coview widget.

Submit the form and wait for a welcome email to land into your inbox. We strongly advise to set a strong password for your account straight away by clicking on a Set password link in the email before moving any further (here's a guide for your convenience).
