Getting started

Choose your edition, organise your workspace and prepare your first customer conversation.

A useful starting point

Choose your Communications edition

Select the workspace journey that matches the intended subscription and business account.

Plan your first week with Alactic

Turn a broad launch into a sequence of observable milestones.

Set up a workspace owner account

Define a small campaign pilot

Learn from a bounded recipient group before extending outreach.

Review public information before launch

Check the details customers can see rather than only the admin screens.

Create an internal operating checklist

Give staff a repeatable process for daily messaging work.

22

Validate a small contact sample

Catch formatting and mapping mistakes before importing the full list.

Choose measurable business outcomes instead of relying on message volume alone.
