Getting Started

This guide walks you through setting up Flowpane from scratch. By the end, you will have your first Site added and verified, your first governance check complete, and a clear understanding of the Site score.

Before you begin

You will need:

• an email address for your Flowpane account
• at least one website URL you want to monitor
• a site that is publicly accessible; Flowpane fetches files over HTTPS as a public visitor

Steps

1. Create your account — sign up with a magic link or an email and password.
2. Onboarding walkthrough — the six onboarding screens: your name, Organisation, Workspace, Sites, team invitations and activation.
3. Add your first site — enter a URL, verify ownership and confirm the detected metadata.
4. Understand your dashboard — the Sites list, filters, bulk actions and recent runs.
5. Run your first check — how checks start and what they do across the eight artefact types.
6. Read your governance score — the 100-point scores, the colour bands and the finding types.

What happens next

Once your first check is complete, you can:

• open each artefact's Workbench to see findings and prepare fixes
• add more Sites individually or by batch import
• invite team members to collaborate
• run a Deep Scan in the Sitemap Workbench for deeper URL analysis
• generate a governance report to share with a client
