Getting Started With Govenda

Welcome to Govenda! This guide walks you through your first sign-in and getting oriented in the platform.

Step 1 — Find your invitation email

You should have received a welcome or invitation email from Govenda or your organization's administrator. This email contains a link to set up your account.

• New users receive a link to create their password.
• Existing Govenda users being added to a new organization receive a notification — they can sign in with their existing credentials.

Don't see the email? Check your spam/junk folder. If you still can't find it, ask your administrator to verify your account is active and to resend the invitation.

Step 2 — Create your password

Click the link in your welcome email and set a password. It must include:

• At least 10 characters
• At least one uppercase letter (A–Z)
• At least one lowercase letter (a–z)
• At least one number (0–9)
• At least one special character (! @ # $ % ^ * - _ + =)

Step 3 — Sign in

Go to the Govenda sign-in page and enter your email and new password.

If your company uses Single Sign-On (SSO), click the SSO button instead of entering your email and password — you'll be redirected to your organization's identity provider.

Step 4 — Set up two-factor authentication (if required)

If your company requires 2FA, you'll be prompted to register your mobile phone number on your first sign-in. You'll receive a 6-digit verification code via SMS to complete the process.

Step 5 — Explore your dashboard

After signing in, you'll land on your dashboard. From here you can:

• View upcoming meetings and meeting materials
• Access documents and board books
• Complete surveys, votes, and eSignatures
• Read announcements and news
• Access your settings and integration preferences
• Use Search and Ask Gabii to find information
