TotalApp Docs

Quick Start

Get TotalApp running in minutes — from sign-up to your first workflow.

Step 1 — Sign Up & Log In

Go to app.totalapp.app and create a free account. You can sign up with Google or set a password directly. After logging in you land on the My Workspace hub — your starting point for everything.

Already have an invite?

If a TenantAdmin sent you an invite link, open it first. Your account will be automatically connected to their workspace on first login.

Step 2 — Choose Your App Mode

TotalApp organises its screens into App Modes — focused workspaces for each domain. Click the mode switcher in the top header to activate the modes relevant to you:

Project Management

Kanban boards, timelines, task lists, notes, and team collaboration tools.

Finance

Invoicing, payroll, bank reconciliation, budgets, and financial accounts.

Human Resources

Employee directory, leave management, performance tracking, and recruitment.

Creator

Image, video, audio generation tools, presentation wizard, and doc view terminal.

Warehouse

Inventory management, stock tracking, pick-and-pack workflows, and warehouse operations.

Logistics

Shipment tracking, route optimization, delivery management, and logistics analytics.

Security

System monitoring, access control, security alerts, and compliance tracking.

Analytics

Business intelligence, custom reports, data visualizations, and KPI dashboards.

Automation

Workflow automation, triggers and actions, scheduled tasks, and process orchestration.

API & Integration

External system integration, API endpoints, webhooks, and data synchronization.

Quality Control

Product testing, defect tracking, quality metrics, and compliance verification.

Bank Reconciliation

Automatic matching with bank statements, discrepancy detection, and seamless reconciliation workflows.

Audit & Compliance

Track all financial changes with audit trails, user actions, and permission modifications for full transparency.

Step 3 — Add Screens to Your Sidebar

Each App Mode comes with a default set of screens. To add more, click the + button at the bottom of the sidebar to open the Manage Screens modal. Toggle any screen on or off — changes apply instantly.

Step 4 — Create Your First Workflow

The Workflow Editor is TotalApp's automation canvas. Open it from the sidebar (Automation mode) and drag nodes onto the canvas to build a pipeline:

  1. Drag a Text Input node from the left palette onto the canvas.
  2. Drag a Blog Writer node and connect it to the Text Input.
  3. Click Run — the AI generates a blog post from your input text.
  4. Add an Output → Modal View node to display the result in a viewer.

Running a Workflow

Press the green Run button in the top toolbar. Each node executes in sequence — you can watch the data flow through the graph in real time.

Step 5 — Invite Your Team

Go to Settings → Company → Members to invite colleagues. Enter their email address and assign a role:

RolePermissions
TenantAdminFull access — can invite members, manage settings, see all data
TenantUserStandard member — can view and edit data within the tenant

The invitee receives an email with a link. Gmail users can click "Continue with Google" to join in one step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install anything to use TotalApp?
No. TotalApp is fully web-based — just go to app.totalapp.app in any modern browser, sign up, and you're in. There's no desktop app, no local setup, and no separate download for the Workflow Editor or any other screen.
What happens if I don't pick an App Mode right away?
New accounts land in My Workspace with a sensible default set of screens already enabled. You can activate additional App Modes (Project Management, Finance, HR, Creator, etc.) at any time from the mode switcher in the header — nothing is locked in during sign-up.
I toggled a screen on in Manage Screens but don't see it in the sidebar — why?
Toggling a screen in the + → Manage Screens modal adds it instantly, but some screens are mode-exclusive. Make sure the App Mode that owns that screen is currently active — switching modes filters which of your enabled screens are shown in the sidebar at any given time.
Can invited teammates skip the password setup step?
Yes, if they use a Gmail address. The invite email includes a "Continue with Google" option that logs them in and links their account to your tenant in one click. Non-Gmail invitees fill out a short password form instead — both paths grant the role (TenantAdmin or TenantUser) you assigned when sending the invite.
