Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Access the Right Section

Log into Dewx and navigate to the relevant hub. For ai invoicing, work primarily in Operations 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

New users who complete onboarding tutorials retain at 80% versus 40% for self-guided (Appcues). 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

the built-in AI 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

Users who complete a guided setup are 4x more likely to become paying customers. 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 CX Hub

Interactive tutorials reduce support costs by $15-25 per user in the first 30 days.

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. Dew AI assistant can help configure templates.

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

How long do these implementations take from start to finish?

Quick-start tutorials: 15-30 minutes. Standard setups: 1-3 hours. Advanced configurations: 1-2 days. Each tutorial displays an estimated time at the top. We recommend tackling one tutorial per day to avoid burnout and allow time for testing.
