Team & Billing
Everything in Echo lives inside an organization. Assistants, content, leads, and billing are all scoped to the organization you're working in. Here's how to manage your team, roles, and subscription.
Organizations
Your First Organization
When you sign up, a personal organization is created automatically. You can start using Echo immediately without any setup.
Creating Additional Organizations
Need separate workspaces for different brands or clients?
- Click the Organization Switcher in the top navigation bar.
- Select Create Organization.
- Enter a name for the new organization.
- You're switched to the new organization.
Each organization has its own assistants, content, leads, team, and subscription plan. They are completely independent.
Switching Organizations
Click the Organization Switcher in the top navigation. Each entry shows the organization name, current plan, and number of assistants. Click to switch. The dashboard, sidebar, and all data update to reflect the selected organization.
Inviting Team Members
- Go to the organization section (click the Organization Switcher, then the settings icon, or navigate to the Members page).
- Click Invite Members.
- Enter the email address of the person you want to invite.
- Select their role: Admin or Member.
- Send the invitation.
The invited person receives an email and can join by accepting the invitation.
Two Roles, Keep It Simple
Admin
Full access to everything in the organization:
- Create, edit, and delete assistants
- Add, edit, and delete content
- Create and manage lead capture forms
- View and manage conversation threads
- Configure assistant settings

Member
View everything, change nothing. Good for team members who just need to use the assistants:

Members cannot create, edit, or delete assistants, content, forms, or integrations. They can't see the Settings, Forms, Embed, or Threads pages. They can't access billing or invite other members.
