Before Zela can start answering calls for your business, you need to create and configure your account. This page walks you through the full sign-up process — from registering your email to choosing your region — and covers how to keep your account secure from day one.
1

Sign up at app.zela.ai

Open app.zela.ai in your browser and click Sign Up. Enter your business name, email address, and a strong password, then click Create Account. You’ll be taken to a confirmation screen while a verification email is sent to your inbox.
2

Verify your email address

Open the verification email from Zela and click the Confirm Email button. This activates your account and grants you full access to the platform. If the email doesn’t arrive within a couple of minutes, check your spam or junk folder — some email providers may filter it initially.
3

Log in for the first time

Return to app.zela.ai, enter your email and password, and click Log In. You’ll be taken directly into the onboarding flow, which guides you through the remaining setup steps.
4

Set your password and enable two-factor authentication

If you want to update the password you created at sign-up, go to Account Settings > Security and click Change Password. For an extra layer of security, enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on the same page — you’ll be prompted to connect an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator or Authy.
5

Choose your country or region

During the onboarding flow, select the country or region where your business operates. Zela uses this setting to assign you the correct local phone number prefix and to set your billing currency. Select carefully — this setting cannot be changed after your account is fully set up.

Updating Account Details

You can update your display name, email address, and password at any time from your Account Settings page. To get there, click your profile icon in the top-right corner of the dashboard and select Account Settings. From there:
  • Display Name — Update the name shown in your dashboard and in team-facing notifications.
  • Email Address — Enter a new email and confirm it via a verification link sent to that address.
  • Password — Click Change Password, enter your current password, then enter and confirm your new one.
Changes take effect immediately after you save them.

Inviting Team Members

If you have employees or business partners who also need access to your Zela account, you can invite them from the Business > Team page. Head there for full instructions on adding team members and managing their permission levels.
Your account region determines your Zela phone number prefix and billing currency. Choose carefully — this cannot be changed after setup.
