Settings
Open Settings from the workspace menu. It has three groups.
Account is yours alone: Profile (your name, photo and timezone), Notifications, Connected accounts (how you sign in) and Security.
Workspace is shared by everyone in it:
- Team: the workspace's name, address and logo.
- Members: invite people and set their roles.
- Channels: connect, reconnect and manage channels. Each channel also has its own settings page.
- Tags: the labels you put on posts.
- Inbox: team inboxes, routing and assignment.
- Link tracking: UTM and analytics parameters added to your links.
- Analytics: what's collected and how often.
- Calendar feeds: subscribe to your schedule from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.
- AI settings: your brand voice and how Orb writes.
- Billing: your plan, usage and invoices.
Automations connects Orbitwrite to other tools: Slack, Discord, Webhooks, MCP and API keys.
Some items appear only on plans that include them. If one is missing, check Plans and billing.
Search and commands
Press ā K (Ctrl K on Windows) anywhere in the app to search your posts and campaigns, jump to a page, or create a post.
Orb, the assistant
Orb is the AI assistant built into Orbitwrite. Open it from the composer's right rail to draft or rewrite a post, or ask it about your workspace from the pages that offer it. See AI assistant.
