# Onboarding

{% hint style="info" %}
You need to go through Onboarding only the first time the organization joins Leadbay. If you are invited to an existing organization, you can start using Leadbay immediately.

Sign up at <https://leadbay.ai/> — no demo required, start for free.
{% endhint %}

When you first sign up, Leadbay walks you through an **8-step guided onboarding** that introduces the key features hands-on.

## Step 1 — Create your account

We'll ask for your name, email, and a password. You'll then verify your email by clicking a link we send you.

## Step 2 — Tell us about your past wins

To personalize recommendations, our AI needs a glimpse into your past leads.

### Upload a CSV

Provide a CSV file with past CRM data. It doesn't have to be perfect or complete — the more the better, but we'll work with what you give us.

How to export from your CRM:

* [Export from Salesforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.exporting_data.htm\&type=5)
* [Export from HubSpot](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/export-contacts-companies-deals-or-tickets)

### Map fields

Every CRM calls things by different names. Leadbay auto-detects your columns — verify or correct the mapping.

The most important field is **Status** — it tells our AI which leads were won or lost. This is how the model learns what kind of leads work for you.

We'll also ask you to confirm how you name your statuses.

Once done, you'll see your first selection of AI-recommended leads.

{% hint style="info" %}
Don't have a CSV? You can still start — Leadbay will build recommendations from your description and qualification questions. You can always import data later from [Data Sources](/doc/product-guides/data-sources.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.leadbay.app/doc/product-guides/onboarding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
