Day-0 checklist: your first 60 minutes

Eight setup actions for an initial workspace check — onboarding, Business Brain, supported channels, follow-ups, branding, notifications, and team.

You just signed up and want to test a real customer workflow today. Here is a short list of eight setup actions. The time depends on your email and website setup; connected WhatsApp is a separate limited pilot and is not part of this checklist.

The first 60 minutes

1. Finish onboarding (10 min)

Tell Yesoma what your business does and pick your industry. This seeds your replies with the right tone and defaults. See Quickstart.

2. Build your Business Brain (15 min)

Add your services, prices (or "starting from"), policies, and FAQs. This is what lets Yesoma answer accurately instead of guessing. It is the highest-leverage 15 minutes you will spend. See Build your Business Brain.

3. Connect your email (5 min)

The fastest channel to go live. Forward your business email in and replies go out as you. See Connect customer email.

4. Connect one more channel (5 min)

Add your website form and/or WhatsApp so customers reach you where they already are. See Connect a website form and WhatsApp click-to-reply.

5. Turn on follow-ups (3 min)

Create and review a follow-up schedule so a quiet quote remains visible instead of being forgotten. Check the rule's trigger and send behavior before relying on it. See Set up automated follow-ups.

6. Brand your emails (5 min)

Your logo, colors, and from-address so replies look like you, not like a tool. See Brand your emails.

7. Turn on notifications (3 min)

Web push + the tab badge so you never miss a fresh message. See Get notified about new messages.

8. Invite your team, if you have one (5 min)

Add teammates and set roles so the right people can reply without seeing your billing. Solo? Skip this. See Invite team members and Team roles and permissions.

After today

Once messages are flowing, the two habits that matter: clear Needs reply in the morning, and glance at Follow-up due. Everything else (quotes, insights, the marketplace) you can grow into. See Understanding case status.
