# Quickstart

> From signup to your first suggested action in about five minutes.

Setting up Lanten takes about five minutes: create your account, connect Street and Outlook, and install the add-in. You'll do steps 1–5 once; teammates you invite later skip straight to connecting their own inbox.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Sign up at [app.lanten.ai/signup](https://app.lanten.ai/signup) with your work email. This starts your 7-day free trial — no card needed.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your CRM">
    Pick **Street**. Lanten reads contact and property context — tenants, landlords, contractors — straight from your CRM.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your Street API key">
    Street is connected once for your whole agency — if a colleague has already done this, Lanten skips ahead. Create the key in Street under **Settings → Applications**, then paste it in. The full walkthrough with screenshots is on [Connecting Street](/setup/connect-street).

  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Outlook">
    Click **Connect Outlook** and sign in with your work email. Microsoft shows you what Lanten is asking for — review and click **Accept**. Every teammate connects their own inbox; see [Connecting Outlook](/setup/connect-outlook) for what each permission means.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the add-in">
    Click **Open store** to install Lanten from the Microsoft store, or do it inside Outlook: open any email, click **Apps** (or **Get Add-ins** in classic Outlook), search for **Lanten**, and click **Add**.

    <Note>
      If the Add button is greyed out or missing, your Microsoft 365 admin may control which add-ins can be installed. Send them [For IT administrators](/troubleshooting/it-admins).
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open an email and pin Lanten">
    Open an email from a tenant or landlord who's in Street. The panel shows their record, a summary, and suggested actions. Then [pin the panel](/getting-started/pin-lanten) so it opens beside every email automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>
