## 1. Sign in [#sign-in]

Go to the [sign-in page](https://hearl.org/login) and choose **Continue with Google**, or enter your work email and open the sign-in link we send. The link expires in 15 minutes. Your first sign-in creates your account.

## 2. Create a workspace [#create-workspace]

Name your workspace. A workspace holds your products, your members and the conversations you track, and it's what your plan applies to. Every new workspace starts with a 14-day Team trial, with no card needed.

To bring in teammates, open **Members** and invite them by email. Only owners and admins can send invitations.

## 3. Add a product [#add-product]

1. Open **Products & sources** and choose **Add product**.
2. Enter the product's official website and choose **Fill from website**. Hearl reads the name, a description, the X and Reddit accounts linked from the site's header and footer, and suggests search terms.
3. Check every field. In **Not to be confused with**, describe things that share the name, so Hearl's AI can filter them out.
4. Save.

The first collection starts as soon as you save. It can take up to a minute. After that, collection repeats at your plan's frequency.

:::tip
If the website links no X or Reddit accounts, choose **Fill in by hand instead** and add them yourself.

## 4. Work the inbox [#work-inbox]

Open **Inbox**. The **Needs action** view holds only what's waiting on your team. Pick a conversation, claim it with <kbd>a</kbd>, reply on the platform, then mark it done with <kbd>e</kbd>.
