### Step 1: connect your tools

Go to [**Dashboard**](https://app.fyxer.com/) → **Settings** → **Integrations** and sign in with your **Gmail** or **Outlook** account. Connect Fyxer securely to your email and calendar so it can:

* Organize your inbox
* Suggest meeting times and send scheduling links
* Join meetings to capture summaries (optional)

Once connected, you can start using Fyxer immediately. You stay in control: Fyxer never sends emails or books meetings without your review.

[Check if Fyxer works with your setup](https://support.fyxer.com/en/articles/11661658-check-if-fyxer-supports-your-setup).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Email and calendar are connected separately** – make sure you do both.
{% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 2: review your Dashboard

Your [**Dashboard**](https://app.fyxer.com) is your control center. Spend 5 minutes here to:

* Confirm your connected accounts from Settings → Integrations
* Adjust categorization and draft settings
* [Set up your email signature](https://support.fyxer.com/en/articles/10090669-email-signatures-setup-and-troubleshooting)
* Explore Fyxer Chat, custom files, and the meeting Notetaker

{% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 3: customize email categories

Your inbox populates with Fyxer's smart categories. Decide which ones **stay visible in your inbox** and which **get filed automatically**.

This one-time setup keeps your inbox clear every day. We'll come onto this in more detail in the [Dashboard tour](https://docs.fyxer.com/get-started/get-started/dashboard-tour).

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 4: check your inbox

Fyxer organizes **your 300 most recent emails** so you see results right away.

* **Gmail:** new labels appear in your sidebar
* **Outlook:** new folders and categories appear

Start each morning in your **To do** folder – it shows what matters first.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 5: review your first drafts

Fyxer drafts replies for emails in your **To do** category requiring a response. Find them under Drafts in your inbox or attached to any To do email.

To make drafts more accurate:

* Edit lightly instead of rewriting – Fyxer learns your tone faster this way
* Turn on **conversation view** so drafts include context from the full thread
