1

Create your account

Go to octolane.com/signup and sign up with your Google account or email.Name your workspace when prompted. This is your team’s shared CRM - you can invite others later.
2

Connect your email and calendar

After signing up, connect your Gmail and Google Calendar. This is how Octolane starts detecting deals.Octolane reads your email and calendar history to find existing deals, create contact records, and log past meetings. It performs a back-sync so your pipeline isn’t starting from zero.You can connect multiple email accounts. To add more later, go to Settings → Integrations → Add account.
Octolane never sends emails on your behalf without your explicit approval. It reads your data to find deals - it doesn’t act without your permission.
3

Install Signal on your website

Add the Signal tracking script to your website to start identifying which companies are visiting your site.You can install it by adding a small code snippet to your site’s <head> tag or through Google Tag Manager. Full instructions are in the Installing Signal guide.This step is optional but recommended - Signal is how Octolane finds prospects who haven’t reached out yet.

Connect additional data sources

Octolane connects to over 250 tools and data sources. Connect your web analytics, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, or any other tools your sales workflow touches.Go to Settings → Integrations to browse and connect available data sources.
