# Your setup checklist

Everything you need to go live, in order.

Here's the shortest path from a brand new space to helping your first customer. Each step links to a guide with the details.

1. [Invite your team](/articles/2) so everyone can help out.
2. [Add the messenger to your website](/articles/7) so customers can reach you.
3. [Make the messenger yours](/articles/1) with your colors, logo and greeting.
4. [Set your office hours and reply time](/articles/3) so people know when to expect an answer.
5. [Publish your first help center article](/articles/5) to answer common questions up front.
6. [Answer your first conversation](/articles/4) to get comfortable in the inbox.

Have an iOS app? [Install KaraDesk in your iOS app](/articles/6) too.

You'll also find a getting started checklist on your dashboard's Home page, which checks things off as you go.
