## Quick Setup Guide
### **1. Create Watchlist**
Click "**+"** along with watchlist to create a new watchlist and click on people
A people watchlist lets you **track specific LinkedIn profiles** and get notified when something changes like new posts, job updates, or activity.
***
### **2. Add Profiles**
This step defines **which LinkedIn profiles OutX.ai should monitor**.
Examples:
* *Key Prospects*
* *Target Founders*
* *Hiring Managers – US*
This helps when you manage multiple people watchlists.
This will create your people watchlist

### **3. Set Intents**
Intents help you **group people's post inside a watchlist**.
Instead of tracking everyone the same way, labels let you:
* Segment posts by role, intent, or priority
* Filter updates more easily
* Understand *why* someone is being tracked
**Intent Name**
A short category name such as:
* *Startup Mentors*
* *High-Intent Leads*
* *Decision Makers*
**Intent Description**
Add a short note explaining who belongs in this label.
This makes it easier for you and your team to stay aligned.
