Prophecy Gov is ready to use the moment your city admin sends you an invitation. This guide walks you through accepting that invitation, signing in, finding your way around the interface, and sending your first chat message.

​
How access works

Prophecy Gov uses an invitation-only model. You cannot self-register — your city admin must invite you first. Once they send an invitation to your work email address, you’ll receive a link to join your city’s workspace.
1

Accept your invitation

Open the invitation email from Prophecy Gov and click the Accept Invitation link. The link takes you to a confirmation page that validates your token and connects your email to your city’s workspace.If your email address doesn’t yet have a Prophecy Gov account, you’ll be prompted to create one using that same address. Use your work email — the one the invitation was sent to.
Invitation links expire after 48 hours. If yours has expired, ask your city admin to resend it.

Sign in at prophecygov.com

Go to prophecygov.com and click Sign In. Prophecy Gov uses WorkOS AuthKit for authentication, which supports:
  • SSO — If your city has single sign-on configured, you’ll be redirected to your organization’s identity provider (such as Microsoft Entra or Google Workspace) and signed in automatically.
  • Email magic link — If SSO isn’t configured, enter your work email address and click the link sent to your inbox to complete sign-in.
After authenticating, you’ll land on the Chat page.
Use the same email address your invitation was sent to. Signing in with a different address will result in an access error.
