1. The Invitation
The invitation comes from invitations@wayby.io.

2. Press the “Analyse” button
3. When the analysis is finished, press the “Save” button in the bottom right corner
Now your website has been successfully added to your user account!
The final step is generating and adding the JS snippet. After this, the service will be 100% operational with all features.
