Prerequisites Checklist

Before starting, make sure you have:

• A Dewx account (how Dewx works if you do not have one)
• 30-60 minutes of uninterrupted time
• Access to any existing data you want to import
• A clear goal for what you want to achieve

New users who complete onboarding tutorials retain at 80% versus 40% for self-guided (Appcues). Following steps in order ensures you do not miss critical configuration.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Access the Right Section

Log into Dewx and navigate to the relevant hub. For lead qualification automation, work primarily in OPS Hub. Click the sidebar icon to expand the module.

Time estimate: 2 minutes

Step 2: Initial Configuration

1. Open the settings panel (gear icon)
2. Set your preferences — labels, default values, notification settings
3. Save your configuration

Step-by-step implementation reduces time-to-value by 60% for new software tools. Customizing labels to match your terminology improves team adoption.

Time estimate: 5-10 minutes

Step 3: Import Your Data

1. Click "Import" in the toolbar
2. Choose your import method: CSV upload, direct integration, or manual entry
3. Map your data fields to Dewx fields
4. Review the preview and confirm

Dewx Portal can also handle data migration — describe what you want to import and from where.

Time estimate: 10-15 minutes

Step 4: Build Your First Workflow

1. Navigate to the automation section
2. Choose a pre-built template or create custom
3. Set trigger conditions
4. Configure actions
5. Set notification preferences

Interactive tutorials reduce support costs by $15-25 per user in the first 30 days. Start simple and add complexity later.

Common workflow examples:

• When a new contact is added, send a welcome email within 5 minutes
• When a deal moves to "Proposal Sent," schedule a follow-up for 3 days later
• When a support ticket is created, assign to the team member with fewest open tickets

Time estimate: 10-15 minutes

Step 5: Test Your Setup

1. Create a test record
2. Trigger your workflow manually
3. Verify each step executed correctly
4. Check notifications
5. Review automated messages for accuracy

Time estimate: 5-10 minutes

Step 6: Go Live and Monitor

1. Remove test data
2. Announce the new workflow to your team
3. Monitor the first 24-48 hours
4. Check the activity log in Dew AI assistant

Tutorial completion rates increase 3x when estimated time is displayed upfront.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: Data import shows mismatched fields. Solution: Re-run the import wizard and manually map unrecognized fields. Common mismatches: date formats (MM/DD vs DD/MM) and phone number formats.

Issue: Workflow does not trigger automatically. Solution: Check trigger conditions match your test data exactly. Conditions are case-sensitive. Verify timezone settings.

Issue: Notifications not being received. Solution: Check notification preferences in workspace settings. Verify email delivery and check spam folders.

Issue: Automated messages contain placeholder text. Solution: Edit the message template and replace {{variable}} placeholders with correct field mappings. Dewx Portal can help configure templates.

Pre-flight checklists prevent 85% of common misconfiguration issues in SaaS platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I undo changes if something goes wrong?

Yes. Dewx maintains a change log for all configurations. You can revert to any previous state through the settings panel. For data changes, the platform creates automatic backups before major operations. Nothing is permanent until you confirm it.

What if I get stuck on a step?

Each tutorial includes a troubleshooting section at the bottom for common issues. If your specific problem is not listed, ask Dew AI for help — describe what you see versus what you expected, and Dew will guide you through the resolution.

Do these tutorials work for all business types?

The core workflows (CRM setup, messaging, automation) apply to any business. Industry-specific tutorials note where adaptations may be needed. If your business type is not explicitly mentioned, follow the general steps and customize labels and fields for your context.
