Your first day: set up your workspace in an hour

Seven steps, in order, that take you from an empty workspace to a team that answers clients, gives every client an owner, and runs its first automation.

Steps

1
Design your main unit (such as “Leads”) and add 5 to 8 essential fields.
2
Create the roles: “Sales” at If responsible, and “Team lead” at Team-wide access.
3
Invite your team and give each member their role.
4
Connect a WhatsApp number and link it to the main unit, so every new number becomes a record.
5
Create a round-robin distribution rule, so every new client has an owner.
6
Create a welcome automation from a template, and try it with a practice run on your own number.
7
Install the “Sales pipeline” dashboard from the templates.

A real example

Namaa Academy
The situation

Four employees, clients arriving from Instagram and WhatsApp, and no system at all.

What they did
  1. The director followed the seven steps in one sitting.
  2. Later she added lead ad forms.
The result

By the end of the first day, every new client reached an employee within minutes, with an automatic welcome message.

A made-up company, to show the idea. The numbers are rounded.
