Quickstart
This guide will help you get started with Oblic. We'll walk you through creating an account, importing contacts, and launching your first campaign.
Create Your Account
Sign up for Oblic at web.oblic.app. You can sign up using:
- Google Account (recommended)
- GitHub Account
- Email and Password
After signing up, you'll be prompted to create your first Organization. Your organization is the workspace where you'll manage all your campaigns, contacts, and team members.
Import Your Contacts
Before sending campaigns, you need an audience.
- Navigate to Contacts in the dashboard
- Click Import Contacts
- Upload a CSV or Excel file
- Use our smart column mapping to match your data fields
- Review and complete the import
Make sure your file includes at least email addresses or phone numbers. Our smart mapper uses fuzzy matching to automatically suggest field mappings.
Create Your First Campaign
Now you're ready to create a campaign:
- Go to Campaigns and click Create Campaign
- Choose your channel: Email or WhatsApp
- Select a template or build from scratch
- Choose your audience (the contact list you imported)
- Schedule or send immediately
For WhatsApp campaigns, you'll need to connect your WhatsApp Business account and have approved templates.

Making your first API request
After picking your preferred client, you are ready to make your first call to the Oblic API. Below, you can see how to send a GET request to the Conversations endpoint to get a list of all your conversations. In the cURL example, results are limited to ten conversations, the default page length for each client.
curl -G https://api.oblic.app/external/conversations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
-d limit=10
