# Buyer onboarding

> From a new buyer account to a first sandbox campaign: the steps, and what each one unlocks.

This is the shortest path from a new buyer account to a campaign you could launch. Each step can be
done in the app with Semi, in an MCP host, or through the API.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in and pick the buyer account">
    Sign in at [app.semicola.com](https://app.semicola.com). If you belong to several accounts, use
    the account selector in the top bar. Semi's home greets the active account, for example "Let's
    drive revenue for Wrenfield Coffee Co."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accept terms and choose a plan">
    An organization admin accepts the terms and picks an IU plan under **Settings → Plan &
    billing**. Until then, launches are limited to sandbox. See [How IU billing
    works](/buy/billing).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add an advertiser">
    Say "add an advertiser" or call `open_add_advertiser`. Enter the brand domain; Semicola looks up
    the brand card. Confirm the primary currency, markets and channels. Start with **sandbox** on
    while you learn. See [Advertiser](/buy/advertiser).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your sellers">
    "Show me where I can advertise" opens the Sellers page. Include the sellers you want briefs to
    reach, and finish any account mapping a seller asks for. See [Connections](/buy/connections).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Brief a campaign">
    Describe the campaign in a sentence or two. Semi confirms the budget and currency, creates a
    draft and asks sellers for proposals. See [Product discovery](/buy/product-discovery).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add creatives and review">
    Build or upload creatives, attach them, then open **Review & go live** to see the plan, staged
    buys, format coverage and any blockers.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What `get_status` says along the way

`get_status` reports readiness for the active account, with a blocker for each unfinished step and a
next action that usually names the tool to call. Agents should read it at the start of a session and
after every setup change.

<Tip>
  Invite teammates under **Settings → Members**. Admins manage billing and members; operators and
  members can plan and run campaigns.
