# Get started

> The six rows of Get started on Today: connect Gmail, your calendar and Echo, review the people Hire finds, import your work, invite your team.

**Get started** sits at the top of Today until every row is done. Its header says how far you are, such as **1 of 6 done**. The next row is highlighted and has the one blue button. **Setup guide** opens this page at that row. Invited? Follow your invitation email first ([Join your agency](/guides/tutorials/join-your-agency)).
