Where things live

Most setup problems are good instructions stored in the wrong place. Everything you teach Patricia lives in one of four places, and each problem has one place to fix it.

For the owner or an admin

The four places

Memory: what she knows

Company facts, what she picked up from your work, and standing rules that start with "From now on". A standing rule applies to every later answer; other memory comes back when it is relevant.

Skills: how a job is done

The steps, the format and the checks for one job. Taught once, used every time the job comes up.

Automations: when she works on her own

The schedule, where the result lands, and a short brief that names the skill. Keep the steps in the skill.

Approvals: what she may do without asking

Set per person in Settings, My approvals, and per action with Always allow this action on a card.

Fix it in the right place

When this goes wrongFix it here
Wrong facts, wrong tone of voiceMemory, or Settings, Brand Kit
Wrong method, wrong format, wrong numbersThe skill
Wrong time, wrong channel, too much noiseThe automation
Too many approval cards, or too fewSettings, My approvals
She cannot see a tool or a channelIntegrations, or invite her to the channel

One line to remember

What she knows: memory. How: a skill. When: an automation. What she may do alone: approvals.
