Creating a Chatwoot Account
This guide will help you create your account on Chatwoot cloud or any self-hosted Chatwoot installations.
I am using the self-hosted versionâ
If you are using a self-hosted Chatwoot installation, you may directly open the
URLÂ {your_installation_url}/app/auth/signup.
P.S. We have a wholly different guide for self-hosted Chatwoot.
I am using the cloud versionâ
Step 1. If you would like to use Chatwoot cloud, you can open chatwoot.com and click on the "Create a free account"
button. This button takes you to the signup page.
Or, use this sign up link.
