### Step 1 - Prepare a Dataset

Create a table using our APIs, or add your data. Make sure to delete any unnecessary columns and fix column names.

### Step 2 - Add Enrichment

Click **Enrich** in the top right corner of your table, then <mark style="color:blue;">Add a new Enrichment</mark>. Select one from the list of enrichments that appears.

### Step 3 - Map Request Columns

Once the enrichment is selected, click on the request parameters and select which column values should be used to fill them. For example, if the parameter is for an email address, link it to the column in your table that has emails.

### Step 4 - Select Update Frequency

Under the <mark style="color:blue;">Strategy</mark> field, select (i) How often you'd like the enrichment to run and (ii) Whether it updates automatically. *Note: Automated updates use credits on each operation. Ensure your accounts have sufficient credits.* Learn more about how enrichment automations work [here](https://docs.databar.ai/using-databar/enrichments/scheduling-and-automating-enrichments).

### Step 5 - Confirm Response Columns & Install enrichment

Under <mark style="color:blue;">Columns to be added</mark>, check all the fields that you'd like to add to your table. Once done, click <mark style="color:blue;">Add x Columns</mark> to confirm your enrichment. &#x20;

### Step 6 - Run your enrichment
