Activate Your Account
Open your invitation email
Look for an email from Agatabo with the subject line containing your organization’s name and an invitation to join. If you do not see it in your inbox, check your spam or junk folder.
Click the activation link
Select the Activate Account button (or copy and paste the full URL into your browser). You will be taken to the Agatabo account setup page.
Create a strong password
Enter a new password that meets all of the following requirements:
- At least 8 characters long
- At least one uppercase letter (A–Z)
- At least one lowercase letter (a–z)
- At least one number (0–9)
Confirm your password
Re-type the same password in the confirmation field to make sure there are no typos.
Your activation link expires 72 hours (3 days) after it is sent. If the link has expired before you use it, ask your administrator to resend the invitation from the Organization Users page.

- The link has already been used to activate the account
