What are the steps?
Bettermode Client Community Launch and Branding Handoff (Onboarding)
- 01
Create the client community under the agency's Bettermode workspace and assign a named owner
Keep one workspace per client so member counts and plan limits (10,000 members on Starter, 25,000 on Growth) map cleanly to a single retainer line.
- 02
Set the custom domain and upload client logo in the branding settings
Custom domain is available from Starter; removing the Powered by Bettermode badge requires the Growth plan, so confirm which tier the client is contracted on before promising a fully unbranded experience.
- 03
Enable the core apps the engagement workflow needs (Q&A, Discussion, Events, Polls) and hide the rest
Ship only the apps named in the client's success criteria; unused apps dilute the inbox and slow moderator triage.
- 04
Configure social login and sender email customization
Social login is on Starter; sender email customization sits on Growth, so schedule the email-domain DNS work as a separate delivery task when the client upgrades.
- 05
Wire integrations to the client's CRM and support stack (Salesforce, HubSpot, Intercom, Segment, Slack)
API, webhooks, and the sandbox environment are Growth-tier features; test member sync and engagement events in the sandbox before pointing at production records.
- 06
Turn on Ask AI and federated search, then seed the knowledge base with the client's top 20 support answers
Both search features are Growth-tier; without seeded content the AI answers will be thin and moderators will absorb the same questions manually.
- 07
Run a pilot with a small member group, then hand off moderation duties with a written triage guide
Validate the workflow on a limited cohort before opening registration; document who answers what so the client's team can take over the inbox after the build phase.
