5. For customers purchasing through Rippling, you'll see an "Add a payment method" step.  You can add a payment method now or skip it and add it when your trial period ends. (If you're an existing Robin customer, you can skip this step.) 2023-10-04_14-38-55.png

PART 3: Return to Rippling to complete the Robin app setup

1. After you've successfully connected your accounts, you have the option to set up Single Sign-on (SSO) for Robin or jump to the overview page instead.

Setting up SSO allows your employees to log in to Robin with one click. Before setting up SSO note the following:

  • Invited employees to Rippling before turning on SSO integration. Turning on SSO integration automatically disables the ability for users to log in using a username and password. 

  • Employees who currently have access to Robin will lose access until they have created a Rippling account.

2. Decide if you want to allow other people in Robin to sign in to the Robin admin account. This provides a convenient way to centralize access to admin functionality across 3rd- party applications.
