# Sign in to Arbol

Every Arbol application uses one account: your email and one password. This page covers everything you see when you sign in, from the invitation email to signing out at the end of your shift, and what to do when something doesn't work.

You get an email from Arbol.

One, for every application.

Only if you work in several.

With your email and password.

## Before you start

- **Someone at your organization gives you access.** Arbol has no open sign-up: your organization's owner, or whoever administers the application you'll use, invites you.
- **Always use the email you were invited with.** Your access is tied to that email.
- **Type your password only on Arbol's sign-in page.** It lives at **auth.getarbol.com**, which you see in your browser's address bar. Arbol's applications never ask for your password on any other page.

> **Arbol never asks for your password in a message**
>
> Arbol never asks for your password or a verification code by WhatsApp, phone or email. If a message claiming to be Arbol asks for them, don't reply: forward it to <support@getarbol.com> with "Impersonation" in the subject. More on Arbol's [Security](https://www.getarbol.com/en/security/) page.

## The first time: accept your invitation

### The invitation email

You get an email from **Arbol** whose subject starts "Tu invitación a" (your invitation to), followed by your organization's name and the application's. It says you've been invited to join your organization's team and has an **Aceptar invitación** (accept invitation) button.

- **The invitation lasts 7 days.** After that the link stops working and you need a new invitation. Whoever invited you can see in Account when it expires ("Expires on …").
- **If the button doesn't work**, the full link is underneath: copy it and paste it into your browser.
- **If you can't find it**, check your spam folder. Arbol's sign-in emails are in Spanish.

### Create your password

1. In the email, click **Aceptar invitación**. The application you were invited to opens and, right away, Arbol's sign-in page, with your organization's logo and colors.

2. Your email is already filled in. Type the password you'll use in every Arbol application. As you type, the page shows which rules it already meets.

3. Click **Continue** (**Continuar** if the page is in Spanish).

4. You land in the application you were invited to, with your organization already chosen.

You may then get an email "Tu cuenta está creada" (your account is created) and another "Confirma tu correo en Arbol" (confirm your email). If you get the second one, open it and click **Confirmar correo**.

> **Already have an Arbol account?**
>
> If you already use Arbol, for example in another application or another organization, you may not get an invitation: whoever gives you access does so right away and you sign in with your usual password. If you do get an invitation, choose **Log in** (**Iniciar sesión** in Spanish) on the sign-in page instead of creating another account, and sign in with that same password.

### The password rules

Your password must:

- Have **at least 10 characters**.
- Mix **at least 3 of these 4 types**: lowercase letters (a-z), uppercase letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9) and special characters, such as `! @ # $ %`.
- **Not be a common password**, one of those on the lists of most-used passwords.
- **Not contain your name or the first part of your email.**
- When you change it, **not repeat any of your last 5 passwords**.

A phrase of several words only you know, with an uppercase letter and a number, meets the rules and is easy to remember. Don't reuse a password from another site, and don't write it down where others can see it.

## Sign in every day

1. Open the application's address, such as agenda.getarbol.com. They're all in [The applications and their addresses](/en/get-started/apps/). You can also start from [www.getarbol.com/en/sign-in](http://www.getarbol.com/en/sign-in).

2. If you aren't signed in, Arbol's sign-in page opens. Type your email and click **Continue**.

3. Type your password and click **Continue**.

4. If you belong to several organizations, choose the one you'll work in.

When you move to another Arbol application through the menu, you usually aren't asked for your password again.

### How long your session lasts

- **At most 24 hours.** After that, opening or reloading an application asks for your password again. It may ask sooner if you go many hours without using Arbol.
- **Closing the tab doesn't end your session.** If you only close the tab, the next person to open Arbol in that browser can get in with your account without typing a password. That's why, on a shared computer, you should always [sign out](#sign-out).

## If you forgot your password

1. On the sign-in page, type your email and click **Continue**.

2. Click **Forgot password?** (**¿Olvidó su contraseña?** in Spanish).

3. Check that your email is right and click **Continue**.

4. Open the "Restablece tu contraseña" (reset your password) email Arbol sends you and click **Crear contraseña nueva** (create new password).

5. Type your new password, following [the same rules](#the-password-rules), and confirm it.

6. Go back to the application and sign in with your new password.

The email's link works once and expires after 5 days. If you didn't ask for the change, ignore the email: your current password keeps working.

## Change your password

Your password is the same in every Arbol application, and you change it in Account.

1. Open your profile: in Account, click **Profile** in the menu. From Raíz, Agenda or Ámbar, open your user menu at the foot of the side menu and choose **Manage your account** (in Agenda and Ámbar, **Administrar tu cuenta**).

2. Under **Security**, next to **Password**, click **Change password**.

3. Open the "Restablece tu contraseña" email and follow its link to create your new password.

Account tells you "Check your email". Your current password keeps working until you change it. If the email doesn't arrive, check your spam folder; after a minute, **Resend link** appears.

> **If you sign in with your organization's account**
>
> If your organization signs in with its own corporate account, the profile says "You sign in with your organization's account: your password is changed where it's managed." In that case, ask your organization's IT team for the change.

## Choose and switch organizations

If you work in several organizations, for example at two clinics, the sign-in page shows your organizations when you sign in so you can pick one. Everything you see in the applications belongs to the organization you chose.

Agenda and Account remember the last organization you used in that browser and take you there. To switch:

1. At the top of the side menu, click your organization's name.

2. Choose **Change organization**. In Raíz it's called **Switch organization**; in Agenda, whose screens are in Spanish, **Cambiar de organización**; in Ámbar, **Cambiar organización**.

3. Choose the other organization in the list.

| Application | What happens when you switch |
| --- | --- |
| Raíz | Shows your organizations without asking for your password. |
| Agenda | Doesn't ask for your password. The previous organization's agenda drafts and filters are deleted from that browser. |
| Account | Doesn't ask for your password. You can also do it from **Profile**: next to your organization's name, click **Switch**. |
| Ámbar | Signs you out: you type your email and password again and choose the organization. |

## Sign out

1. At the foot of the side menu, click your name or your email.

2. Choose **Sign out**. In Agenda it's **Cerrar sesión**; in Ámbar, **Salir**.

Raíz takes you to the sign-in page; Account shows "You signed out", and Agenda "Cerraste tu sesión". In Account you can also sign out from **Profile**, under **Session**. When you sign out, Agenda deletes your drafts and filters from that browser, and Account forgets your organization.

### On a shared computer

- **Sign out at the end of your shift, then close every Arbol tab.** Signing out of one application ends your Arbol session in that browser, but a tab of another application left open can keep working for a while.
- **If your institution allows it, use a private (incognito) window** and close it when you're done: the browser forgets your session.
- **Don't let the browser save your password.**
- **Lock the screen** whenever you step away, even for a moment.

## Security emails you may get

Arbol writes to you when something in your account needs your attention. They all come from **Arbol**, in Spanish:

| Subject | Why you get it | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "Restablece tu contraseña" (reset your password) | Someone asked to change your password, from the sign-in page or from your profile. | If it was you, click **Crear contraseña nueva**. If not, ignore it: your current password keeps working. |
| "Bloqueamos un intento de acceso a tu cuenta" (we blocked an attempt to access your account) | There were several failed attempts to sign in with your email from a device Arbol doesn't recognize, and it blocked access from that device. | If it was you, click **Desbloquear mi acceso** (unblock my access). If not, do nothing and change your password as a precaution. |
| "Cambia tu contraseña de Arbol" (change your Arbol password) | Your password appeared in a public data breach of another service. The email makes clear your Arbol account wasn't compromised. | Click **Cambiar contraseña** and also change it anywhere else you use the same one. |

## Common problems

Raíz shows it when you sign in with an email no organization has invited: "To get in, someone at your company has to invite you to their organization."

**What to do:**

- If you were invited, open the link in the invitation email.
- If you were invited with another email, click **Use another email** and sign in with that one.
- Once you've been invited, click **I've been invited, try again**.

Account shows it when you're signed in but don't hold any role on Arbol yet. If you only hold a role in Account, it says instead "You don't use any application at" and your organization's name, with the support email.

**What to do:** ask whoever administers Arbol at your organization, or use **Email support** or **Message us on WhatsApp**. Once you're given access, under **Already given access?** click **Sign in again**.

You signed in with an account that doesn't belong to the organization being opened, or something failed on the way back from the sign-in page. Account says "Try again with an account that belongs to your organization."; Agenda, "No pudimos completar el acceso. Vuelve a intentarlo con una cuenta autorizada."; Raíz, "Something went wrong on the way back from signing in. Try again, or sign in with another email."

**What to do:** click **Sign in** (in Agenda, **Iniciar sesión**) or **Try again**, and sign in with the email you were invited with. In Raíz, **Use another email** ends the previous session so you can sign in with another account.

You chose an organization where you don't have a role in that application. Raíz says "Your role here doesn't include any part of the dashboard."; Ámbar, "Su usuario no tiene un rol de Ambar en esta organización, o la organización está suspendida." (your user has no Ámbar role in this organization, or the organization is suspended).

**What to do:** check which account you signed in with: Raíz shows it underneath, in "Signed in as". Then use **Switch organization** (in Ámbar, **Cambiar organización**) to choose another one, or ask whoever administers Arbol at your organization for a role.

Your role doesn't include that part of the application.

**What to do:** open another section from the menu, or ask whoever administers Arbol at your organization for access. See what each role allows in [Roles and permissions](/en/get-started/roles-and-permissions/).

It's been a long time since you signed in. Account and Raíz say "Your session expired. Sign in again." (Account, with the **Sign in again** button); Agenda, "Tu sesión venció. Vuelve a iniciar sesión."; Raíz may also say "Your session took too long to renew. Try again; if it keeps happening, reload this tab.". In Ámbar, the **Volver a comprobar la sesión** (check the session again) window opens.

**What to do:** reload the page and sign in again. In Ámbar, click **Volver a consultar** (check again): what you were preparing is kept in that tab. **Salir y descartar borradores** (sign out and discard drafts) ends your session and discards it.

The invitation expired (it lasts 7 days), was revoked, or you already used it.

**What to do:** if you already created your password, sign in from the application's address with your email and password. If not, ask whoever invited you for a new invitation.

The email may be in your spam folder, or the address was mistyped.

**What to do:**

- Check your spam folder and search for "Arbol".
- Check with whoever invited you that they typed your email correctly.
- For the password, wait a few minutes before asking for another link. If you ask for several in a row, Account says "You asked for several links in a row. Wait a few minutes and try again."
- If it still doesn't arrive, ask your institution's IT team to check whether its email is filtering it.

It doesn't meet one of the rules; the page marks which one is missing.

**What to do:** check [the password rules](#the-password-rules): at least 10 characters, 3 of the 4 character types, not a common one, without your name or email and, if you're changing it, not one of your last 5.

After several failed attempts, Arbol blocks access from that device and sends you the "Bloqueamos un intento de acceso a tu cuenta" email.

**What to do:** open that email and click **Desbloquear mi acceso**. If you don't remember your password, use **Forgot password?**.

Today you get into Arbol with your email and password.

**What to do:** on the sign-in page, type your email, click **Continue** and then **Forgot password?** to create a password. If the browser offers a passkey or asks for a PIN, cancel it and type your email.

Your role loads when you sign in.

**What to do:** sign out and back in.

The sign-in page didn't respond. Raíz says "Signing in is unavailable right now."; Ámbar, "Revise su conexión a internet e intente de nuevo." (check your internet connection and try again).

**What to do:** check your connection and click **Try again** (in Ámbar, **Intentar de nuevo**). If it keeps happening, write to Arbol's team: see [Get help](/en/get-started/get-help/).
