Your account is you. Your organization is the charity or club that runs the tournament. You create both once, in about three minutes.
Who can do this: anyone. Use your own email, not a shared one, so you can hand over the event later without sharing a password.
Before you start
- Were you invited by someone already on Redswing? Do not create your own organization. Open the invite email and follow Accept a team invite instead, or you will end up in a separate, empty organization.
- Have your organization's name ready, as you want golfers to see it.
Steps
- Go to redswing.io and click Sign in, then click Create account at the top of the form.
- Either click Continue with Google and pick your Google account, or type your Email and a Password of at least 8 characters.
- Click Create account. If the page says "Check your email to confirm your account", open that email in the same browser and click the link.
- Platform compliance opens. Read the four points, tick the box agreeing to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and click Acknowledge and continue. You see this once. See The one-time compliance acknowledgment.
- Create your organization opens. Type your Organization name. Contact email is filled in with your sign-in email; change it if your organization uses another address. Contact phone is optional.
- If your organization is a registered 501(c)(3), tick We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It decides whether tax receipts can be sent. You can change it later on Tax receipts in an event.
- Click Create organization. You land on Home, ready to create your first event.
Another way in: start with your event
You can also go to redswing.io/start, type your event's name and fill in the setup steps without an account. When you click Publish, you sign in or create an account, and Redswing creates your organization from the charity name you entered (or the event name). Your answers come with you.
What happens next
- Home shows a card called Get your first event live with four steps. See A tour of your dashboard.
- Your contact email is where replies to golfer emails go, and where Redswing sends the "your event is live" email.
Common problems
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "That link has expired" after clicking the confirmation email | The link was opened in a different browser or app than the one you signed up in, or after 60 minutes | Go back to the sign-in page in your usual browser and sign in with your email and password. See I can't sign in, or my link expired. |
| "Please enter your organization name, or choose Skip for now." | The name box is empty | Type the name. Skip for now also works, but names your organization "My organization". |
| I clicked Skip for now and my organization is called "My organization" | There is no screen to rename an organization yet | Open Ask AI and ask for a person to rename it. See Organization settings. |
| I see an empty dashboard, but my committee already has an event | You created a new organization instead of accepting an invite | Ask your admin to invite your email, then accept. See Accept a team invite. |
