Finish signup at getrivet.ca/start
Six fields: email, your name, your practice name, your mobile number,
your city, and a choice of practice number. A magic-link email lands
within a minute. Open it on the device you’re going to use Rivet on
(laptop for sessions, phone for the practice line on the move — most
practitioners use both).
Open the magic link
The email contains a one-tap sign-in link. Opening it signs you in and
drops you on the welcome screen. Behind the scenes, Rivet is
provisioning your phone number — the screen flips to “ready” in
60–120 seconds.
Claim your Rivet URL
Pick the slug clients will see:
getrivet.ca/your-name. This is your
permanent waiting-room link — share it once in your intake email, put
it in your email signature, and your clients always know where to
join. Pick the shortest recognisable form of your name.Save your practice number
The welcome screen shows your new local number. Copy it, save it to
your contacts as “Rivet Voicemail,” and head to
Practice phone when you want to forward your
existing number into it. Your existing line keeps working — call
forwarding routes missed calls into the Rivet inbox.
Open your waiting room URL on the phone you use as a client
Tap your
getrivet.ca/your-name link from your personal phone. That’s
exactly what a client sees on their first session. The pre-join surface
asks for camera and mic, shows a selfie-mirror preview, and waits for
you to admit them. Bookmark it so you can show clients what to expect.Run a 2-minute test session with a colleague
Text your Rivet URL to a colleague, ask them to open it from their
browser, and run a 2-minute test. Confirm the audio and video work,
walk through the in-session toolbar, and end the session cleanly. This
is also the cleanest way to introduce a peer to Rivet — they see the
client side, you see the practitioner side.
Leave yourself a test voicemail
Call your new Rivet number from your mobile, leave a short voicemail,
and watch it appear in the inbox — transcribed locally in Canada,
tagged, and with an auto-response text already on its way back to the
caller. That’s the loop your real clients will hit between sessions.
