# Quickstart

> Get started with AI Inbx in under 5 minutes

Get your AI Inbx integration running in minutes. This guide walks you through creating your account, using your instant organization domain, and sending your first email.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up and create your organization">
    Visit [aiinbx.com](https://aiinbx.com) to create your account and spin up your first organization. This is where you'll manage domains, API keys, and webhooks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your instant organization domain">
    Every organization gets its own domain automatically: <code>orgslug.aiinbx.app</code>. It's ready the moment you create the org – no DNS setup required. You can start sending and receiving right away.

    <Note>
      Want to use your brand domain? You can connect it anytime under [Domains](https://aiinbx.com/start/domains) and continue using both.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get your API key">
    Navigate to [API Keys](https://aiinbx.com/start/api-keys) in your dashboard and create a new API key. Keep this secure – you'll use it to authenticate all API requests.

    <Note>
      Need human-in-the-loop approval? Enable **Draft Mode** for the key. Every send or reply created with that key will be stored as a draft instead of being delivered until you manually send it in the dashboard.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send your first email">
    Now you're ready to send your first email! Here's a simple example using curl:

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -X POST "https://aiinbx.com/api/v1/emails/send" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "to": "recipient@example.com",
        "from": "hello@your-org-slug.aiinbx.app",
        "subject": "Hello from AI Inbx!",
        "html": "<p>This is my first email sent through AI Inbx.</p>"
      }'
    ```

    You'll receive a response with your email ID, thread ID, and message ID:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "emailId": "email_abc123",
      "threadId": "thread_xyz789",
      "messageId": "<message@aiinbx.com>"
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explore your dashboard">
    Check out your [Threads](https://aiinbx.com/start/threads) to see your conversations, monitor [Metrics](https://aiinbx.com/start/metrics), and configure [Webhooks](https://aiinbx.com/start/webhooks) for real-time notifications like inbound and outbound events.
