### Setup checklist

* [ ] Create your account & log in
* [ ] Configure basic settings (notifications, timezone, preferences)
* [ ] Connect your CRM (if applicable)
* [ ] Set up Single Sign-On (SSO) to streamline access and enhance security
* [ ] Create your first Signals

{% hint style="warning" %}

### **Important: Signals Loading Time!**

#### Signals take approximately 24 hours to fully load. From first creating them, expect to start seeing Signals in your inbox after about 24 hours on average. This is normal, the system needs time to process and match data sources.

You can now:

* Book a **support call directly in the app**
