Creating & Configuring Agents

Choose the right agent type, confirm prerequisites, and launch with the right level of control

Start With The Right Agent Type

The biggest setup decision is picking the right workflow for the client's real need.

Basic Add Flow

For the standard add flow:

  1. Open the client detail page.
  2. Go to the Agents tab.
  3. Click Add Agent.
  4. Choose the workflow you actually need.
  5. Save the first-pass configuration.

What The Status Badges Mean

When choosing from the agent list:

  • Live means the workflow is ready for normal production use.
  • Beta means you should expect stronger operator review.
  • Alpha means it is still closer to testing than normal production use.

Before You Enable Anything

Always check prerequisites first.

Examples:

  • Phone Agent -> phone number, calendar, CRM, business details
  • Inbound Setter -> GHL connection, message channels, follow-up rules
  • Social Agent -> Brand Studio, assets, approval flow
  • SEO / GBP / Ads agents -> the matching platform connection and guardrails

Enable Only After A Real Test

Do not treat "saved" as "ready."

Use this sequence:

  1. save the config
  2. verify connections
  3. test the main path
  4. then enable the workflow

Best Operator Rule

The newer and riskier the workflow, the smaller the first launch should be.

That usually means:

  • tighter review
  • clearer budget rules
  • narrower rollout scope
  • more post-launch monitoring
