Aqyl White-Label Community Deployment (7-10 days)

A 7-10 day delivery playbook that takes a client from zero to a live, self-hosted Aqyl messaging and community layer on their own domain, priced against Aqyl's flat $299/month Growth plan rather than per-user fees. Time: 7-10 days.

Blueprint

Aqyl White-Label Community Deployment (7-10 days)

Prerequisites

Client cloud account on AWS, GCP, or Azure with permission to provision compute and storage for a self-hosted Aqyl deployment
Signed scope confirming which Aqyl modules ship in phase one (messaging, community feeds, video/audio rooms, stories, or in-app payments and wallets)
Access to the client's existing user database or CRM so Aqyl end-user accounts can be mapped before integration begins
A staging domain and DNS control for the custom domain that will front the white-label Aqyl instance
One engineer on the agency side who can read the REST API, WebSocket, and webhook documentation and has validated the surface in a sandbox build

Execution Timeline

1.Provision the self-hosted Aqyl environment on the client's chosen cloud provider and confirm the deployment boots cleanly
2.Map the client's existing user records to Aqyl end-user accounts and document the identifier that will link the two systems
3.Agree the module scope in writing: messaging channels, community feeds, video/audio rooms, stories, payments and wallets

1.Install the JavaScript or React SDK in the client's web application and confirm a test user can authenticate
2.Wire the REST API endpoints the client's front end needs for channel creation and message history
3.Stand up the WebSocket connection and verify real-time delivery between two test accounts

1.Configure 1:1, group, and channel messaging structures to match the client's community taxonomy
2.Apply the client's brand assets, logo, and colour tokens to the white-label Aqyl interface
3.Set user roles and permissions so moderators, members, and admins see the correct surfaces

1.Build the community forum structure with nested threads and seed it with the client's launch categories
2.Enable AI-powered content moderation and tune the thresholds against a sample of the client's real content
3.Turn on push notifications and confirm delivery on at least one iOS and one Android device

1.Configure video and audio rooms, including recording settings, if the client's scope includes live sessions
2.Enable disappearing stories and set the expiry window the client wants for time-limited posts
3.Connect in-app payments and wallets to the client's payment provider if monetised features are in scope

1.Register webhook endpoints that push Aqyl events into the client's CRM or user database
2.Verify each webhook fires on the correct trigger and that failed deliveries are logged for retry
3.Point the custom domain at the Aqyl instance and confirm TLS terminates correctly

1.Run an end-to-end test covering signup, messaging, community post, story, and payment flow
2.Load-test the WebSocket layer at the client's expected concurrent-user peak
3.Log every defect found and triage which block launch versus which can ship in a follow-up sprint

1.Fix launch-blocking defects and re-run the affected test paths
2.Confirm the analytics dashboard is capturing the events the client wants to report on
3.Check webhooks and logs are retained long enough for the client's audit or compliance needs

1.Write the admin onboarding guide covering moderation queues, user management, and channel creation
2.Record a short walkthrough of the Aqyl admin dashboard for the client's internal team
3.Hand off admin credentials and walk the client through the moderation and escalation workflow

1.Move the deployment into the client's production cloud account and confirm the staging build is retired
2.Document the uptime, scaling, and backup responsibilities the agency retains under the retainer
3.Schedule the 30-day review to assess MAU growth against the Growth plan's 100,000 MAU ceiling

$299/month for the Aqyl Growth plan (up to 100,000 MAU, 10 applications), plus the client's own cloud hosting costs for the self-hosted deployment. Enterprise pricing is quoted on contact and covers unlimited MAU, dedicated infrastructure, and an SLA guarantee.7-10 days

ROI Logic

Aqyl's Growth plan is a flat $299/month covering up to 100,000 MAU and 10 applications, so the agency's cost line does not move as the client's user base grows, which is where per-MAU competitors erode margin. An agency charging a $599/month retainer for the Aqyl Community Starter offer keeps roughly $300/month per client before hosting, and the 20-hour setup plus 4-hour monthly maintenance load fits inside a single delivery sprint. Margin improves further when one Aqyl deployment serves multiple client applications under the same 10-application Growth allowance.

Deliverables

Live self-hosted Aqyl instance running on the client's cloud account behind their custom domain
Configured messaging channels, community forum with nested threads, and moderation rules tuned to the client's content
Webhook integration pushing Aqyl events into the client's CRM or user database, with delivery logs
Admin onboarding guide and recorded walkthrough of the Aqyl admin dashboard
Handover document listing the uptime, scaling, and backup responsibilities the agency retains

Definition of Done

The client's users can sign up, exchange messages in real time, post to the community, and complete an in-app payment on the client's own domain, with Aqyl webhooks feeding their CRM and the admin team able to moderate without agency assistance.
