# Sign up and first login

> Create your BotGround account and launch your first bot.

## Sign up and activation

Sign-up creates your working environment.

When you create your account:

* you define a primary user,
* you create a unique workspace,
* you get default settings.

<Note>
  The workspace is the core unit in BotGround.

  All bots, data, and integrations are attached to it.
</Note>

## Email verification

You must verify your email to secure access.

This step helps you:

* confirm workspace ownership,
* receive critical notifications,
* unlock advanced features.

## Common activation issues

If activation fails, first check:

* the email address you entered,
* your spam folder,
* whether the verification link has expired,
* whether the account was already activated.

## First workspace login

On first login, your environment is empty.

This is expected.

You do not have active bots or collected data yet.

Use this phase to:

1. explore the interface,
2. understand the navigation flow,
3. create your first bot.

## Create your first bot quickly

**Quick Start** reduces setup friction.

You can use it to:

* test quickly,
* validate an idea,
* get first user feedback.

<Warning>
  **Quick Start** is ideal to begin.

  For complex bots, you should refine settings afterward.
