You need to input additional information about yourself when you create your account for the first time.

## Verify your email

As part of the process, you should receive an email from `pollination@app.pollination.solutions` to verify your email address. Please check your spam and junk folders if you don't see an email confirmation in your inbox.

**In some cases, you may need to get in touch with your IT team in case you don't see the email in the spam of junk folders.**
