Getting Started
Create your Y2 workspace and set up your first intelligence profile or subscription.
Set up Y2, choose what you want to monitor, and confirm where your intelligence reports will arrive.
What you will accomplish
In about 10 minutes, you will have an active workspace, at least one intelligence profile, and a delivery path you can verify in My Profiles.
How Y2 works
An intelligence profile defines the subject Y2 monitors. Y2 runs research for that profile and makes each completed report available in the app and through the delivery methods included with your workspace plan.
Before you begin
You need an email address or phone number that can receive a verification code. No API key is required for this tutorial.
Free workspace access
A Free workspace can subscribe to one community profile. Custom-profile creation and delivery start with Lite. Pro adds scheduled-report management, SMS, audio, and new API keys. See Plans and limits for the complete reference.
Set up your first intelligence workflow
Sign in and finish onboarding
Open Y2 sign in, choose email or phone verification, and enter the code you receive. Complete the workspace prompts before continuing.
Your setup is ready when Y2 opens your workspace dashboard.
Choose how to start
Subscribe to a community profile
Choose an existing briefing when you want a ready-made topic. This is the fastest path and is available on Free.
Create a custom profile
Define your own topic, keywords, cadence, and delivery settings. Free includes one trial profile; ongoing custom-profile delivery starts with Lite.
Configure the profile
For a community profile, review its topic and cadence, then confirm the subscription.
For a custom profile, enter a clear name and topic, add useful keywords, and choose a frequency. Start with a narrow subject you can recognize in the resulting report. The profile creation guide explains every field.
Choose an available delivery method
Email is the default. Webhook delivery requires Lite or higher; SMS requires Pro or Elite. You can change delivery settings later from the profile.
Confirm the setup
Open My Profiles. Your new profile or subscription should appear in the list with its current status and delivery method.
The setup is complete when you can open the profile from this page. Custom reports follow the configured cadence; completed reports remain available from the profile.
Choose your next path
