Quickstart

Throughline's pilot is invite-only. There is no self-serve signup — you cannot create a production or an account by visiting the app and filling out a form.

Getting in

You get access one of two ways:

1. Your production's admin invites you. A UPM, coordinator, or another admin on the show sends an invite to your email address from inside Throughline. The invite is scoped to:
   • the production itself, and
   • usually, one department on it.
2. Leeme HQ invites you. For a new production coming onto the pilot, Leeme's own team sends the first invites to get the show set up.

Either way, the invite arrives by email. There is no public "request access" page — if you were expecting an invite and don't have one, ask your production's admin or reach out to Leeme HQ directly.

Signing in

Once you have an invite, you sign in one of two ways:

• With Google. If your email address is a Google account, sign in with Google and Throughline matches you to the person the invite was sent to.
• With the invite link itself. The email contains a direct link that signs you in without a separate password.

There are no Throughline passwords to set or remember.

What you'll see first

After signing in, you land on the production you were invited to. If you hold seats on more than one show, you pick one first.

From there you're in your production's home for your department: the assets your team owns, the approvals waiting on you, and the deliveries in and out of your department. Everything else on the production — the full script breakdown, the schedule, the budget topsheet — is reachable from the same place, scoped to what your role can see.

Integrating a tool instead of signing in

If you're building against Throughline rather than using it as a person — a pipeline script, a render farm hook, a studio dashboard — you don't need an invite at all. Your production's admin mints a Throughline access key for you in Settings. See Your keys and either the REST API overview or the MCP server to get started.
