Didn’t Receive Activation Link After Signing Up¶

Last updated: 19 Jul 2020

After you create your account, you will need to click on the link that’s sent to the email address you provided within 72 hours of creating the account. If you don’t click on the link within three days, you’ll have to sign up again for a new account with a different username.

It’s possible you didn’t receive the email because you had a typo in your email address. Also, it’s recommended to check if the activation email landed in your spam or junk mail folder, as it might have been placed there by your email provider.

If neither of those work and you’re still not seeing an activation link email, please email support@kobotoolbox.org.
