# Running Grade Nudge for the First Time

Most users of Grade Nudge use a standard Google account capable of sending email.  These Google accounts are often issued by the user's institution.  Users at the University of Nebraska have an unusual setup and should [follow the instructions here](/university-of-nebraska-specific-instructions/setting-up-nu-gsuite-accounts.md) and return to this page once complete.

When running Grade Nudge for the first time, Google will ask your permission for Grade Nudge to use your Google account.  Before you start, navigate to a Google property such as [drive.google.com](https://drive.google.com/) to make sure you are logged in with the Google account you want to use with Grade Nudge. If you are logged into multiple Google accounts, please [create a different profile in Google Chrome so that you are logged into a single Google account](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824?hl=en\&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop).  &#x20;

Once you are logged into the Google account you want to use with Grade Nudge, navigate to the [Grade Nudge website](https://bensresearch.com/nudge) and click the "Web App" button.  If this is the first time you are running the app, you will see this screen:

Click the button that says "Review Permissions." This will trigger this screen:

This screen lists the Google accounts that you are logged into. If you see more than one, it is recommended that you [setup a separate Chrome profile](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824?hl=en\&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop) and start the steps on this screen over.   Select the account. The next screen confirms this selection:
