Creating Your First Switch

This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating your first Aftermi from start to finish.

Step 1: Access the Dashboard

After logging in to your Aftermi account, you'll be taken to your dashboard. Click the "Create New Switch" button in the top right corner.

Step 2: Name Your Switch

Give your switch a descriptive name that helps you identify its purpose. For example, "Personal Emergency Contact" or "Business Continuity Plan".

Step 3: Set Check-in Period

Choose how frequently you need to check in to keep your switch inactive. For beginners, we recommend starting with a longer period like 30 days to avoid accidental triggers while you get familiar with the system.

Step 4: Configure Actions

Select what happens when your switch activates. For your first switch, we recommend setting up a simple email notification to yourself or a trusted contact.

Step 5: Test Your Switch

Use the "Test Mode" to verify your switch works as expected without actually releasing any data or performing actions.
