I don't know my BenchID number.
You can locate it via the number in your Bench account URL: https://app.bench.co/client/12345/ the number after client/ is your BenchID. You can also always ask your bookkeeper for it as well.

I'm not sure what to use for the email address.
‍Replace your.business.name with your actual business name, no spaces. For example, if your business is Maple Goods, the email would be thirdpartylogins+maple.goods@bench.co. Your bookkeeper can confirm the exact format.
