# Start guide

Distro helps you schedule meetings and connect prospects with the right teammate. Set up your calendar and availability, then choose how you want people to book.

## Set yourself up

[Connect your calendar](/integrations/calendars.md), choose where new meetings should appear, and [set your weekly availability](/settings/personal-settings/my-availability.md). Check your name and timezone in **Settings → Profile** before sharing a booking page.

If you're joining an existing workspace, use your invitation and ask your admin which meeting links or sales handoffs your team uses. You may already have everything you need to start sharing.

During first-time setup, everyone completes their profile, connects a calendar, chooses conferencing, and sets availability. Admins also connect the workspace CRM and can invite teammates. Team invitations can be skipped and completed later from [Members](/settings/workspace-settings/members.md).

## Share your first link

Open **Booking links → My Personal Links**. Preview an existing link, then copy it into your message. To make a new one, [choose an event type and create a personal link](/booking-links/create-a-booking-link.md).

Need several teammates in the same meeting? [Create a group link](/booking-links/create-a-group-link.md). Need Distro to choose the host? [Choose a routing workflow](/routing/overview.md).

## Work from your browser

[Install the Chrome extension](/integrations/chrome-extension.md) to share links, offer times, and manage meetings while working in other apps. Start with [inserting a link into a message](/integrations/chrome-extension/inbox-shortcuts.md) or [offering times in Gmail](/integrations/chrome-extension/offer-times.md).

## Set up your team

Workspace admins can [organize teammates](/teams/create-a-team.md), [configure reusable event types](/event-types/create-an-event-type.md), and set up routing. For seller-led handoffs, start with [Outbound Routers](/outbound-routing/routers.md). Add [workflows](/workflows/create-a-workflow.md) when you want follow-up actions to happen automatically.

Use [Copilot](/copilot.md) for workspace questions and guided setup, or [saved views](/views.md) to return to the records you use often. Admins can also configure [enrichment](/integrations/enrichment.md) and [email verification](/integrations/email-verification.md) for Form Routers.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.distro.so/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
