Your first day in Tormano

A 30-minute setup checklist that gets you to actual value.

4 min read · Updated Jul 4, 2026

Don't try to configure everything on day one. Do these in order, and you'll be productive by lunch.

1. Set your profile (2 min)

Go to Settings > Profile. Add your full name, photo, time zone, and phone. This drives signature blocks, calendar invites, and how teammates @-mention you.

2. Invite your team (5 min)

Settings > Users. Click + Invite User, add their email, and choose a role. Tormano seeds nine system roles - Owner, Privacy Officer, System Administrator, Organization Administrator, Sales Manager, Sales Representative, Marketing Manager, Customer Support Agent, and Readonly (Nonprofit relabels several: Development Manager, Fundraiser, Communications Manager, Donor Services Agent). New invites default to Sales Representative, and you can create your own custom roles. They'll get an email with a one-click link to set up their account.

3. Connect QuickBooks (5 min) - if you use it

Settings > Integrations > QuickBooks > Connect. You'll get redirected to Intuit, sign in, pick the company, and you're back in Tormano with two-way sync running. Customers, invoices, estimates, sales receipts, payments, and projects flow between QuickBooks and your CRM records, all configured across the QuickBooks settings tabs.

4. Connect your email (3 min)

Settings > Email Accounts (/settings/email-accounts). Two ways in: Outlook / Microsoft 365 connects with one click via Microsoft OAuth2, and Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, Fastmail or any other provider connects with an app password. Either way, outbound CRM email routes through your real account so replies land in your real inbox. This step is optional - Tormano's own delivery service handles campaigns and transactional mail whether or not a mailbox is connected.

5. Import your existing data (10 min)

Data > Imports. Upload a CSV or Excel file, map columns to Tormano fields, preview, and run. Pick a prebuilt mapping template if your data came from another platform. B2B orgs get four templates (HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive); Nonprofit orgs get seven (Bloomerang, Little Green Light, DonorPerfect, NeonCRM, Fundly / NonProfitEasy, CiviCRM, Givebutter). That is the whole library; each platform has a template for every record type it supports (contacts, organizations, deals, or donations).

6. Pin the Help menu

The ? icon in the top right is always one click away. The command bar (Cmd+K) is always one keystroke away.

After this, the rest can wait until you have a real reason to need it.
