The launch path of a business
On this page
The launch path describes the first day of a new business: eight steps in a fixed order. The steps are not ticked off by hand. Talemo works the state of each one out from the facts of the business, so a step that stops being true opens again: delete the last service with a price, and services is open again.
The steps
| Step | It is done when |
|---|---|
payment |
the business exists; it opens only from a paid balance |
business |
the business has a name, which it always has |
services |
there is an active service with a price and at least one resource that does it |
memos |
there is at least one memo in the knowledge that is not in the archive |
rehearsal |
no fact confirms it yet, so it stays open until a person puts it off or skips it |
channel |
at least one channel is connected |
first_reply |
the first draft of the assistant was decided with Send or Edit, or the online admin answered a client by itself |
own |
a connected channel is in the mode "on its own" and the online admin is on |
Only a person switches the online admin to "on its own"; Talemo never does it.
State of a step
Each step is done, now, later or skip. now is the first step that is not
done, skipped or put off; if there is none, the first one put off. The step also
carries a word for its action: start when the work has not begun, check when
it has begun and should be checked, open when it is ready to open, and running
when it goes on by itself.
Beside the steps the path shows the money the business has spent since it was created and the amount it was opened with, in dollars. Over MCP each of them also comes in thousandths of a credit, where a credit is one cent.
Choices of a person
- later puts a step off.
- skip takes it out of the count.
- closed hides the launch card, and only after the launch is finished.
payment and business cannot be put off or skipped, and a step that is done
cannot either. The path is finished when own is done or when it is hidden. After that it
holds the first message the online admin sent by itself and the visit it booked in
that conversation. The visit, with the client's name, is shown only to a role that
sees both visits and client cards.
Who can do what
Anyone who sees the business reads the path. A choice needs the right to change the business, as the owner and the administrator have. A choice only records the person's word about their own path and switches nothing on, and it can be repeated without effect.
Where it is read
The path is read by the assistant and by connected programs. talemo_get_launch
returns it, and talemo_set_launch_choice records a choice; ask the person first,
and with dry_run the answer is the path as it would be. The web and the app have
no screen of the whole path yet. They show one card, Where to start: on Today
in the web and on an empty Waits for you in the app. It stays while services or
channel is open, says what to do next and has buttons for adding services and
masters and for connecting WhatsApp or Instagram, only for a role that may do it. A
step that is done or skipped leaves the card, and when both have left, the card is
gone.
Tools and refusals
- A new business has a launch path of eight steps, from payment to the online admin answering clients by itself.
