Helper setup checklist

CanU only works when your helper logs consistently. Most families spend about 10 minutes once to set this up—the checklist below is what we walk through on onboarding calls.

  1. 1

    Invite your helper

    Add them in Family & Team with their phone number and preferred language. They'll get a WhatsApp link to join.

    Open Family & Team
  2. 2

    Send the Quick Start guide

    Share the one-page guide with your helper (or local sibling) before the first log. It's in their language and takes 2 minutes to read.

  3. 3

    Do the first log together

    Pick a natural moment—after lunch, after evening meds, or before leaving for the day. Walk through one log so they know it's fast.

    Open care log
  4. 4

    Book an optional onboarding call

    We'll join a 15-minute call to answer helper questions and complete the first log live. Most families only need this once.

  5. 5

    Complete 3 logs in the first week

    Weekly summaries and alerts need a few days of data. Nudge once if they forget—the habit usually sticks after day three.
