No. To create a Tomba account on the website, you need a work email address: one at your company's own domain, such as [email protected]. The website doesn't accept personal addresses from free email services, such as Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook, for new accounts.
What you see when you sign up with Gmail
On the sign-up page, when you click Continue with Work Email, type a personal address and click Get started free, the button changes to Change email to Continue. A box appears with the title "Sign up with this address in the Tomba app". It says "On the web, new accounts need a work email".
To continue, replace the address with your work email, then click the button again.
You may also see this message: "This domain name (gmail.com) is not allowed to register accounts on the web. Please use another email address like [email protected], or create your account in the Tomba mobile app."
The box may also link to the Tomba mobile app. If the app doesn't let you create an account, sign up with a work address or email [email protected].
Signing up with Google, LinkedIn or GitHub
The same rule applies when you sign up with Continue with Google, Continue with Linkedin or Continue with Github. If that account uses a personal address, such as a Gmail address, Tomba doesn't create an account, and you see the same box.
Use a Google, LinkedIn or GitHub account that has your work address, or sign up with your work email instead.
A new account made with Google, LinkedIn or GitHub has one more step: you add your name and choose a password. See Finish your registration and set a password.
Disposable addresses
A disposable address is a temporary, throwaway inbox. You can't sign up with one at all. The sign-up page shows "Disposable email addresses are not allowed." With Google, LinkedIn or GitHub, the message is "This domain name is a disposable email".
Use your permanent work address instead.
