The Ultimate Nowsta WFM Onboarding Checklist:


Step 1 - Complete the Billing Page setup in your Nowsta Account by adding either  your ACH or Card details

To give you full access to the Nowsta Admin App you will need to complete your Billing Page by adding in the details of a payment method that will be billed each month for the Nowsta Service.

You can do this by clicking on this link: Nowsta Billing or by navigating to the Billing page of app.nowsta.com after you have logged in and following the steps outlined in this overview:  Nowsta Billing Page Overview 


Step 2 - Uploading a Staff List and System Inputs

Let's kick things off by uploading your staff list effortlessly. Nowsta can upload and import your full staff list to the platform for you, saving you the time and hassle of having to manually key in information for each member of staff! 


For Nowsta to be able to bulk upload and import your staff list for you,  we require the file to meet some specific requirements.  This Staff List file can be created by your company using the following guide: Importing Staff Lists Overview


Step 3 - Assigning Role Managers

Do you have other administrators on your team that need access to the Nowsta Admin platform? Learn more about Assigning Role Managers here.


Step 4 - Company Settings

Review your company settings page to make sure it aligns with your company’s preferences. There are a number of different settings that you can customize. Learn more about Customizing Your Account here.

Step 8: Launching Nowsta to Your Team

Once you are all set up and ready to launch Nowsta to your full team, we recommend you take several actions:

  1. Send an introductory email to your employees and ask them to acquaint themselves with the Workers App FAQ 

  2. Invite or re-invite employees to the Nowsta App

These steps will give employees all the information they need to log in to their Nowsta account and set up their accounts.  


After completing this Onboarding Checklist you will be ready to start using the Nowsta Platform to maximize your Workforce Management and keep everything running smoothly!
