# Get Started

Get up and running quickly with key concepts, setup steps, and practical guidance for using the platform and integrating with the API.

### Login to the Loyalty Console

The **Loyalty Console** is the admin portal for the Loyalty Engine and where you configure rules, create rewards, manage users, monitor activity, and test logic.&#x20;

1. **Set a password**\
   You'll receive an invite via email to set a password for your Loyalty Console account.
2. **Invite additional administrators**\
   Once logged in to the Loyalty Console, you can invite additional administrators to help manage your program under Settings > Administrators in the console sidebar.
3. **Get familiar with the Loyalty Console**\
   Check out the [Loyalty Console](/product/loyalty-engine/loyalty-console.md) docs for a quick overview of the console, how to manage administrators and the difference between your production and staging environments.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Request your API credentials

If you're planning to build a custom integration with the Loyalty Engine, you'll need our API docs and most likely some administrative auth credentials to get started.

1. **Get your credentials and read the docs**\
   [Request your API admin credentials](https://kbase.whitelabel-loyalty.com/developer/guides/api-authentication/request-api-credentials) if required, from WLL Support and have a skim of our API docs.&#x20;
2. **Create a loyalty user**\
   Review our article on [creating users](/product/loyalty-engine/users/creating-users.md) to understand how to create your first loyalty user via API.
3. **Create a custom event type**\
   Create and configure your first [custom event type](/product/loyalty-engine/events/event-types/creating-event-types.md) representing a behaviour or action you're planning to report to the Loyalty Engine.
4. **Report an event**\
   [Report the custom event type](/product/loyalty-engine/events/reporting-events.md) you just created against the user you created.

### Get familiar with the platform

The White Label Loyalty Engine is a powerful, **API-first** platform designed to be seamlessly embedded into business systems and user interfaces. It provides the flexibility and functionality needed to build **bespoke, engaging loyalty programs** tailored to your unique use case.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://kbase.whitelabel-loyalty.com/product/get-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
