    2. with a different email, will we create a new Shinami account+workspace.
  2. If you sign up first with sign in with Google
    1. if you want to log into the same Shinami account+workspace with an email+password, you need to go through the sign up flow for that email+password (you can't just click "forgot password"). Once you verify your email and create a password, you'll be able to use both login flows to sign into the account+workspace.

What is the workspace contact email and how do I change it?

The workspace contact email is shown on under Settings on the Workspace page of your Shinami dashboard. This contact receives key emails from Shinami, such as billing emails and key product updates. By default it's the email address that created the workspace.

Admin-only operation If this is better as another email, like [email protected]or [email protected], you can click the edit icon to change it. Currently, we don't send a verification email to the new address, so make sure to double-check the value you enter!

Up to five members can belong to a workspace.


How many workspaces can I be a part of?

Once you've created or joined your first workspace, you cannot create a new personal workspace with the same email address. However, there is currently no limit to the number of workspaces the same email address can be invited to and join. So, if three different Shinami workspaces invited your email address to join, you could join them all.
