# Quickstart

Cr3dentials gives you two simple ways to start verifying users:

* **No-Code** via the Cr3dentials dashboard
* **API-based** for full integration into your product or platform

3. **Create Verification session**
   * To create a verification session navigate to the reviewer tab and click "New Request"
   * Fill in applicants details and verification expiration time
   * The applicant will receive an email or whatsapp message with a link to verify their credentials
