Pachurros Help

Quick Start

Welcome to Pachurros! This guide walks you through a few steps to your first productive session.

1
Create an account and set up your workspace

Sign up (during the closed beta with an invite code). Pachurros then sets up your first workspace to match your work, or leaves it empty. Create additional workspaces via the workspace name in the top-left corner.

2
Create a project

Projects group pages, boards and tables around a single topic: a shoot, a campaign, an ongoing assignment. In the sidebar, click + next to Projects and enter a name or pick a setup.

3
Create a page

Pages are your writing area for briefs, concepts, and notes. Type / on any empty line to insert images, to-do lists, locations, and more.

4
Create a table

Perfect for shot lists, props, contacts, or tasks. Pick a view (Table, Kanban, Gallery, Calendar, Timeline, or Map) and fill in the columns.

5
Create a board

A free canvas for moodboards, mind maps, and visual planning. Double-click any empty area to add a card, or drag media from the library directly onto the canvas.

1. Create an Account

Section titled “1. Create an Account”

Open pachurros.com and click Start for free. On the Create account page, enter your name, email address and a password (at least 8 characters), accept the terms, the privacy policy and confirm your age (at least 16), then create the account.

Invite code (closed beta)

Section titled “Invite code (closed beta)”

Pachurros is currently in closed beta, so you need an Invite code to sign up.

  • With an invite link: Usually you receive a link like pachurros.com/register?invite=CODE. It opens the sign-up page with the Invite code field already filled in. Nothing to type.
  • Code by hand: If you only have the code, enter it in the Invite code field. Upper/lower case and spaces don’t matter.
  • Invited by a team: If someone invited you to their workspace by email, you don’t need a code. Sign up via the link in that invitation, using exactly the address the invitation was sent to.
MessageWhat you can do
Please enter your invite code.The field is empty. Enter the code from your invitation.
This invite code is not valid (anymore).Check the spelling. Codes can expire or be used up: ask for a new one.
Registration isn’t possible with this email address right now.Sign-up is limited to certain addresses. Use the address you were invited with.

You then receive an email to confirm your address, in the language you signed up in.

2. Set Up Your Workspace

Section titled “2. Set Up Your Workspace”

After signing up, Pachurros asks how you work and sets up your first workspace to match: with linked tables, pages and an overview (for example Studio, Team and agency or Creator). If you’d rather build it yourself, choose Start empty. More under Setups.

You can create additional workspaces at any time, for example one per client. Click the workspace name in the top-left corner to switch between workspaces or create a new one.

3. Create a Project
