# Start here

> Get OnSite, join your company or set it up, and find your way around.

OnSite keeps your team's chats, tasks, photos and files together, organised by project. Blue, OnSite's AI teammate, is built in. This guide takes you from download to working with your team.

## Get the app

> [tab] iPhone
>
> Download OnSite from the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/onsite-communications/id6745776708).

> [tab] Android
>
> Download OnSite from [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onsitemain.onsite).

> [tab] Computer
>
> Open [app.on-site.io](https://app.on-site.io) in your browser. Sign in with the same mobile number you use on your phone.

## Sign in

OnSite signs you in with your mobile number. There's no password to remember.

**1. Enter your number**

Open OnSite and tap **Let's go!**. Enter your mobile number and tap **Send verification code**.

**2. Enter the code**

OnSite sends you a one-time code by WhatsApp or SMS. Enter it to continue. The code expires after 2 minutes. If it doesn't arrive, wait for the timer, then tap **Resend via SMS**.

**3. Finish your profile**

If you're new to OnSite, add your name, a profile picture and up to two preferred languages, then tap **Create my account**. You can skip the picture and add it later in **Settings**.

## Join your company or set it up

OnSite then asks whether you've received an invitation to join your company.

> [tab] I have an invitation
>
> Tap **Yes, I have an invitation**. Then open the invite link you were sent, scan its QR code, or paste the link.
>
> > [!TIP]
> >
> > If you tapped an invite link before installing OnSite, the app may find it for you. Tap **Paste my invite** and you're added to your team straight away.

> [tab] I'm setting up my company
>
> Tap **No, I don't have an invitation**, then **Yes, set up my company**. You become your company's administrator and decide who can join.
>
> 1. Enter your company name, your email, the kind of work your team does and your team size.
>
> 2. Add your company logo, or skip this for now.
>
> 3. Check your details and tap **Create company & Company Space**. Your Company Space is a shared place for your company's chats and teamwork.
>
> 4. Choose how to start: **Invite my team**, or **Start with WhatsApp chats** to bring in a few existing work chats first.
>
> 5. If you chose **Invite my team**, pick a few shared chats to start with. OnSite suggests some based on your kind of work, such as **Site Updates** or **Deliveries**. Everyone you invite is added to them.
>
> 6. Share your invite link with your team, then tap **Let's Go!**.
>
> > [!WARNING]
> >
> > If your company already uses OnSite, don't set up a new company. Ask your company admin for an invitation instead.

## Bring in your team

Open a project and tap **+** at the top of the screen, then tap **Invite members**. You can:

* **Share invite link** to send it by WhatsApp, SMS or email.
* **Show QR Code** so people next to you can scan it. Anyone without OnSite downloads the app first, then scans again.
* **Invite by name or number** to pick people from your contacts or type their numbers. You choose which chats they're added to.

See [Your team](https://docs.on-site.io/projects/team.md) for managing members and your organisation.

## Start a conversation

Tap **+**, then choose the kind of chat:

| Option | Who can see it |
| - | - |
| **New Direct Message** | Just you and one other person |
| **New public group** | Everyone in the project. Only project admins can create these. |
| **New private group** | Only the people you invite |

## Bring in your WhatsApp chats

Your team doesn't have to leave WhatsApp on day one. Link your WhatsApp once, then choose which chats to bring into OnSite. Messages sent from OnSite in a linked chat are delivered to WhatsApp.

**1. Link your WhatsApp**

Go to **Settings** > **WhatsApp** and tap **Link WhatsApp**. Enter the number you use on WhatsApp and tap **Get pairing code**.

**2. Confirm in WhatsApp**

Tap the notification WhatsApp sends you. If none arrives, open WhatsApp and go to **Settings** > **Linked devices** > **Link a device** > **Link with phone number instead**. WhatsApp lists OnSite as "Chrome (Linux)". That's OnSite, so tap **Confirm** and enter the code.

**3. Add your chats**

In any project, tap **+**, then **Add a WhatsApp chat**, and pick the chats to bring in.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Keep WhatsApp installed on your phone to stay connected. If you unlink WhatsApp, your chats stay in OnSite but become read-only until you link again.

See [WhatsApp](https://docs.on-site.io/chats/whatsapp.md) for importing history, moving chats between projects and connection problems.

## Meet Blue

Blue is OnSite's AI teammate. It answers from the chats, tasks, photos and files you can see.

* **Ask Blue anything.** Tap the Blue button at the bottom of the screen. Ask about tasks, photos or progress, or tap the mic to log work hands-free. See [Ask Blue](https://docs.on-site.io/blue/ask-blue.md).
* **Ask about a chat.** In a chat, tap **+** in the message box, then **Ask Blue**. Only you see the conversation.
* **@mention Blue in a group chat.** Where Blue is a member, @mention it and it answers for everyone in the chat. See [Blue in group chats](https://docs.on-site.io/blue/in-chats.md).
* **Confirm Blue's suggestions.** Blue spots tasks and form entries in your chats. Nothing changes until someone confirms. See [Confirm Blue's suggestions](https://docs.on-site.io/blue/suggestions.md).

## Find your way around

Everything in OnSite is organised by project. Your projects appear in a row at the top of the screen. Tap one to switch to it, or tap the project's name to see its info and settings. Tap **+** for quick actions such as inviting people and starting chats.

Swipe or tap between the project tabs:
