# Getting Started

Sign up, connect your phone and LOS, and your next call builds the file.

This guide sets up the **Basic** plan agents: the [Intake Agent](https://docs.aila.fyi/agents/intake) and the [Call Compliance Agent](https://docs.aila.fyi/agents/compliance). Basic is self-serve with a 7-day free trial. **Enterprise** agents (Pre-Approval, Ops Prep, Ask Aila, and custom agents) are set up with our team on one 1-hour call. See [Plans](https://docs.aila.fyi/agents#plans-and-pricing).

## Setup Workflow

1. **Create Account**: Register your organization.
2. **Connect Integrations**: Link your LOS, CRM, calendar, and dialers.
3. **Capture Calls**: Choose how Aila hears your calls.
4. **Score & Coach**: Set up scorecards for the Call Compliance Agent.

## 1. Create Your Account

1. Open [app.aila.fyi/signup](https://app.aila.fyi/signup).
2. Enter your name and email address, then set and confirm a password.

4. Rename the organization any time in **Settings > Team**.

## 2. Connect Your Integrations

### Connect your LOS

The Intake Agent builds the 1003 in your LOS after each call.

1. Go to **Settings > Connections**.
2. Connect **ARIVE** or **LendingPad**.

Using another LOS? Export a [MISMO 3.4 file](https://docs.aila.fyi/calls/mismo-export) instead.

### Connect a CRM

Aila syncs transcripts, extracted metadata, and AI summaries to your CRM.

1. Go to **Settings > Connections**.

   - **GoHighLevel**: Sync contacts, opportunities, and custom fields.

   - **Pipedrive**: Route inbound calls and sync deal activities.
   - **monday.com**: Match items by phone number and update records.
   - **Follow Up Boss**: Sync FUB calls and write notes and tasks. Requires the [Aila Chrome extension](https://docs.aila.fyi/integrations/follow-up-boss).
   - **Bonzo**: Sync tasks, appointments, and contact records.
3. Click **Connect** and authorize your account.

### Connect Your Calendar

3. Authorize access to your Google or Microsoft account.
4. Aila will automatically send recording bots to scheduled meetings.

- **Quo / OpenPhone, RingCentral, Dialpad, Zoom Phone**, and 10 more dialers connect with an API key and, for most, a webhook.
- See [Phone & Dialers](https://docs.aila.fyi/integrations/phone-systems) for the full list and setup.

## 3. Capture Your First Call

Keep your number. Pick the method that matches how you call today. See [Capture Calls](https://docs.aila.fyi/capture) for the full comparison.

### Dialers/VOIPs

Once your dialer is connected (step 2), recordings sync automatically. Make a test call.

### Video calls

1. Schedule a meeting in your connected calendar.
2. Include a Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams link.
3. The Aila bot joins the meeting at the scheduled start time.
4. Aila processes the call as soon as it ends.

### Your cell phone (iPhone/Android)

- **iPhone**: Turn on native call recording and install the [Aila iPhone app](https://docs.aila.fyi/mobile). It uploads every recorded call. Plaud recorders pair with the app.
- **Android**: Use a [Pocket](https://docs.aila.fyi/capture/pocket) recorder with the Pocket app, or record natively and [upload the file](https://docs.aila.fyi/capture/android).

### Your Mac

1. Download and install [Aila for Mac](https://docs.aila.fyi/desktop).
2. Sign in with your Aila credentials.

2. Click **Upload**.
3. Optionally enter a **Client name**. Aila uses it as the call title and contact name.

## 4. Set up the Call Compliance Agent

Define your scorecards, and the [Call Compliance Agent](https://docs.aila.fyi/agents/compliance) scores every call against them.

1. Navigate to **Settings > Call scoring**.
2. Click **New scorecard**, or **Create with AI** to start from a draft.
3. Add a question for each thing you want checked (e.g., "Confirmed caller identity", "Explained fee structure").
4. Set each question to **Binary (Pass/Fail)** or **Rated (1-N scale)**, and give it a weight.
5. Save the scorecard, then attach it to a call type in **Settings > Call setup > Routing**. Aila scores every new call of that type.

See [Call Scoring](https://docs.aila.fyi/settings/call-scoring) for full scoring details.

---

## 5. Configure call types and fields

Extract specific variables from transcripts and sync them to your CRM.

1. Navigate to **Settings > Call setup > Types**.
2. Click **Create call type** (or **Create call type with AI**).
3. Add fields with **Add fields**: a field name and what Aila should extract (e.g., "Loan Amount", "Target Close Date").
4. Map each field to a CRM field where your CRM supports it.
5. Save the call type.

See [Call setup](https://docs.aila.fyi/settings/call-setup) for more.

1. Navigate to **Settings > Team**.
2. Click **Invite team members**. Use **Bulk invite** to add several people at once.

   - **Manager**: Everything a Member has, plus review of the team's calls, coaching, and metrics.
   - **Admin**: Full access, including billing. An Admin seat is free and Aila does not process the Admin's calls.
