# Quickstart

> Get Lindy into your team's Slack, then connect your own email, calendar, and phone. Two minutes.

Two quick parts: get Lindy into your team’s Slack, then connect your own email, calendar, and phone.

That sets up both surfaces. In **channels**, the whole team shares one Lindy you summon with an `@mention`, and the work it does is visible to everyone there. In your **DMs**, you get a private one that runs your inbox, meetings, and scheduling. Same Lindy either way.

## 1. Get your team on Lindy

### Add Lindy to Slack

An admin installs Lindy from Slack’s **Add to Slack** screen. The installer is linked automatically.

### Everyone links with one tap

The first time a teammate DMs or @mentions Lindy, it replies with a **Connect Slack to Lindy** button. Tap it, confirm, and you’re linked. Your original message runs on its own once you’re connected.

For the full picture (how to talk to Lindy, guardrails, and what it can do), see [Set up Lindy](https://www.lindy.ai/docs/teammate/setup).

## 2. Set up your account

### Connect email and calendar

Connect your Google or Microsoft account so Lindy can run your inbox, prep and take notes on meetings, and handle scheduling.

### Add your phone

Add your phone number (or connect Apple Messages) so you can text Lindy from anywhere. You’ll verify with a code.

### Connect your tools

Connect the tools you use, like Notion, HubSpot, Linear, and 3,000+ more, so Lindy can work across your whole stack. See [Integrations](https://www.lindy.ai/docs/integrations/overview).

## Try it

Ask Lindy in Slack, a DM, or by text:

- *“What’s on my calendar today?”*

- *“Draft a reply to [name]‘s email”*

- *“Schedule 30 minutes with [name] next week”*

- *“Summarize yesterday’s meeting with [name]“*
