Creating a Gearset account

Gearset supports the following methods to create an account:

Email and Password
OAuth via Salesforce, Google, or LinkedIn
SAML

Logging in via Salesforce is recommended. You will need to “install” Gearset’s connected app, which is Salesforce’s recommended secure connection. If you’re not an admin with the ability to install the connected app, you can still get into Gearset using an alternative method for creating an account.

Email and Password accounts are prohibited by default from joining existing teams or any new team that is created using an OAuth or SAML method. This can be configured by team owner using the Identify Restrictions settings.

If you’re creating a Gearset account to join an existing team, using OAuth or SAML is the best approach. Email and Password accounts are prohibited by default from joining existing teams, though this can be configured by the team owner using the Identity Restrictions settings.

The first thing you’ll need to do is select the region in which your data is stored. This can’t be changed later on.

Email and Password accounts

To create an account using an Email and Password, enter your details and click `Sign up with work email`.

You’ll be sent an email to the corresponding email address with a sign-up link.

The sign-up link is valid for 24 hours. If your link has expired, head to the create account page and enter your email to get a new one.

After clicking the sign-up link, you’ll be taken to the following screen to complete your profile and account creation.

Your password must be at least 12 characters long. Multiple spaces in a row could as one character.

Finally, click Create account & get started.

If you need to change your password later, head to My Account -> My Profile then Change Password

OAuth accounts

To create an account using Salesforce, Google or LinkedIn authentication, click on the Other ways to sign up button.

Log in using a Salesforce, Google, or LinkedIn account. A Salesforce sandbox org is not recommended as every sandbox refresh will break the login.

If prompted to allow access by Salesforce, Google, or LinkedIn, click Allow. You can revoke this access at any time in your personal settings.

If you choose to create an account using Salesforce, our recommended process is a two step process:

Firstly “install” the Gearset Connected App (this will open in a new tab). Here is a more detailed guide on installing the Gearset Connected App.
Connect to the app by logging in via Salesforce.

Complete your Gearset profile by naming your Gearset team (or letting us create one for you using the name generator!), and enter a contact phone number.

Click CREATE ACCOUNT to finish setting up your profile.

Congratulations - you’ve created your Gearset account!Here are some key features to try during your trial.

Commonly asked questions

Will Gearset access the Salesforce org I log in with?

No. Gearset will not access the metadata from the Salesforce org you log into the app with. We only use your Salesforce/Google/LinkedIn account to create a local profile in Gearset. This saves you creating a separate Gearset account, and means we never store or access your user credentials.

Which account should I log in with?

Your Gearset profile will be linked to the account you first log in with, so it's a good idea to pick one that's going to stay around. Your production Salesforce login or a Google account are ideal, but you can also use any developer or sandbox account too. Just make sure to sign in with the same account each time.

Sandboxes are not preferred: when sandboxes are refreshed, your Salesforce user account is sometimes deleted and recreated. This can mean you'll lose access to your previous history in Gearset, as your Gearset account is tied to a specific Salesforce user. We recommend you don't use sandboxes for paid Gearset subscriptions.

How can I access technical support during my trial?

Use the live chat icon in the bottom right-hand corner to get technical support. Our support team typically reply in minutes rather than hours, and no question is too big or too small.

What should I do if I hit the OAUTH_APP_BLOCKED error?

This means your org is not allowing Gearset to connect to it. Follow these steps to unblock the necessary Connected Apps:

Navigate to Setup and type Connected Apps into the Quick Find box.
Click on Connected Apps OAuth Usage.
Locate the entries for the Gearset Apps.
If the Action button for either app says Unblock, then this Connected App has been blocked. Click to Unblock each app.
If Unblock is greyed out, you may need to click Install for both Gearset Deploy and Gearset apps. This will allow you to manage security settings for these apps.

Once installed, you will be able to click Unblock provided you have the necessary permissions in your org.
