Getting started

Start here: your first day with DH Connect

Go from a new account to a published card and a simple follow-up routine, without learning everything at once.

Before you start#

  • An email address and password for your DH Connect account.
  • Your name, contact details, and a clear idea of who you want to help.

Steps#

  1. Step 1: Create your account#

    Create your account at https://dhconnect.io/sign-up using Email + Password. Sign in again at https://dhconnect.io/sign-in with the same email and password. If invited, start with the invitation link and review the displayed sponsor before submitting Account Setup.

    Build and manage cards at https://dhconnect.io/studio. After publishing, copy your visitor link from the app: https://dhconnect.me/[slug]. Replace [slug] only with your actual published handle. Never share your private Studio address with visitors.

    A DH Connect signup is not proof of membership in another business or program.

  2. Step 2: Know the three jobs of your card#

    Front Door introduces you and gives visitors a reason to continue. The Hook asks a useful question with a small set of answers. The Close gives each answer a relevant next step. Setup contains the settings behind those pages.

    Example: introduce your service, ask which problem the visitor wants to solve, then offer the appropriate information or contact action. Use truthful, specific wording rather than claims you cannot support.

  3. Step 3: Build one simple card#

    Open Studio and choose Create New Card. Give the card a useful internal name, then work through Setup, Front Door, The Hook, and The Close. Start with one clear goal rather than trying to include every offer you have.

    Private draft saves are separate from publishing. Wait for saves and uploads to finish, and correct any red field messages before continuing.

  4. Step 4: Publish and check the visitor experience#

    Choose Publish Card only after reviewing every defined answer and next action. Copy the public URL shown after publishing and open it in a private browser window. Test the card on your phone as well.

    A contact button may open another app or prepare a message. That does not mean the visitor sent the message. Test the final destination, not just the appearance of the button.

  5. Step 5: Begin a simple routine#

    Share your published card with a relevant audience. Check Pipeline for genuine submissions, use tags to organize them, and follow up based on what the person actually shared. Check Inbox for internal requests.

    Add Member Spotlight and Team Command to your routine when they are relevant. You do not need to master every area before sharing your first card.

How you know it worked#

  • You can sign in with the same DH Connect email/password account.
  • One card is published and its public link works signed out.
  • You know where to find genuine submissions and internal requests.

Tips#

  • Keep your first card focused on one audience and one useful outcome.
  • Use the launch checklist before sending the link widely.

Troubleshooting#

I land on Account Setup instead of Studio.
Finish the required account setup first. Private workspaces require a signed-in account with setup completed.
