## Book your onboarding call

Right after you open an account, you can directly book your onboarding call with us so we can help you with the basic setup. You can book it [**here**](https://calendly.com/d/dwq-xmb-b69). 

During the call, you can learn how to:

* Create campaigns, automations, import contact lists, or anything else we can give you a hand with 
* How to manage your billing (invoices, billing updates, upgrades/ downgrades, etc) 
* How to use our support system and help center

## Get started

### 1. Create your list

Always create a single Master List where you store all your contacts. Have as few lists as possible.
