Getting Started
Welcome to TempoDyn. As your organization's Enterprise Administrator, you configure the platform after deployment and prepare it for production.
Work through this guide in order: domain setup, first login, team invitations, providers, AI agents, guest support, and go-live validation.
Who should use this guide
Enterprise (Team) Administrators. General administration skills are enough; you will need DNS access or help from your IT team for domain setup.
Before you begin
Gather the following:
- Admin credentials and access to the Admin portal
- DNS management access for your organization's domain
- Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and TempoDyn server IP address
- Test email addresses you can access for invitation testing
- At least one provider profile for roster testing
- A supported modern web browser
What you will accomplish
- Configure DNS so users reach your branded domain
- Verify admin login and workspace settings
- Invite members and experts, and confirm email delivery
- Approve and manage service providers
- Enable and test AI agents
- Configure guest support workflows
- Complete go-live validation checks
Domain & DNS
Why configure a custom domain
Users should access TempoDyn through your organization's domain (for example `app.yourcompany.com`), not a generic platform URL. This requires a DNS record pointing to TempoDyn infrastructure.
Create the A record
Work with your DNS administrator or open your DNS console:
- Create a new A Record
- Set the host name to the subdomain TempoDyn provided (commonly `app`)
- Set the IPv4 address to the TempoDyn server IP from your implementation team
- Set TTL to the value your DNS team recommends (typically 300–3600 seconds)
- Save the record
Wait for propagation
Authoritative DNS servers update quickly, but cached resolvers elsewhere may take up to the TTL before everyone sees the new record. Plan for a short wait before verification.
Verify your DNS record
- Run `dig yourdomain.com A` (replace with your hostname) and confirm the returned IP matches the TempoDyn server
- Optionally query Google Public DNS: `dig @8.8.8.8 yourdomain.com A` and compare the result
- Use `dig +trace yourdomain.com A` to trace resolution from root servers to your authoritative DNS if you need deeper diagnostics
If the domain is not resolving
Check each of the following before contacting support:
- Correct DNS zone and hostname
- Correct IPv4 address in the A record
- DNS propagation status (TTL not yet expired on resolvers)
- Stale cached records on your local machine or network
Login & Settings
First login
- Open your organization's Admin portal URL (from your welcome email)
- Sign in with your Enterprise Admin account
- Confirm you land on the dashboard with the navigation menu, greeting, and chat input visible
Verify the dashboard
Open each item in the navigation menu and confirm pages load without errors. Do not proceed to invitations until the dashboard is healthy.
Review workspace settings
- Open Settings
- Verify sign-in URLs and environment URLs match your deployment
- Make a small test change, save, refresh the page, and confirm the change persists
- If you have a non-admin test account, confirm admin-only settings are not visible to regular users
Invitations & Members
Invite a team member
- Go to Invitations
- Enter the member's email address
- Assign the Member role
- Send the invitation
Invite an expert
Follow the same flow but select the Expert role before sending.
Confirm invitations work
- Check that the email arrives at a test inbox you control
- Complete the signup flow end-to-end using that test address
- Use Resend if the email does not arrive promptly
- Use Copy Invitation Link to share the link manually when needed
- Use Cancel to invalidate an invitation immediately if sent in error
Manage your team
- Open Team Admin → Members
- Search by name or email when search is available
- To remove a member, select Remove and confirm
Providers
Understand the provider roster
The Expert / Service Provider roster lists approved providers available to your organization. Review this before go-live.
Approve providers
- Open pending provider approvals
- Review each profile (specialties, contact details, credentials)
- Approve providers that meet your organization's requirements
Remove or update providers
- Open a provider profile to verify information is accurate before go-live
- Remove providers who should no longer appear on the roster
- Refresh the roster and confirm updates are reflected
AI Agents
What AI Agents do
AI Agents are configurable intelligent assistants your users can interact with inside the workspace.
Enable agents
- Open the AI Agents section in admin settings
- Toggle each integration on or off as needed
- Refresh the list and confirm no errors appear
Best practice: enable only the agents you need at launch. Give custom agents clear, meaningful names.
Create a custom agent
- Select Create Custom Agent
- Complete the setup wizard
- Test the agent from a member account before go-live
Guest Support
Overview
The Guest Support module manages incoming support requests from guests and users.
Verify filters and workflows
- Confirm New, Read, and Archive filters categorize messages correctly
- Open a message and verify sender information and timestamps
- Mark a message as Read and confirm it moves to the Read filter
- Archive a message and confirm it appears under Archive
Go-Live & Troubleshooting
Production readiness
Your platform is ready for production when you have completed every validation step in this guide successfully.
Pre-launch checklist
Confirm all of the following before announcing go-live:
- Dashboard and navigation load without errors
- Invitations send and complete successfully
- Provider roster is accurate
- Required AI agents are enabled and responding
- Guest support filters and actions work
- Settings persist after save and refresh
- Admin permissions are enforced correctly
Standard verification checks
On every screen you test, verify:
- Pages load and buttons respond
- No console or server errors appear
- Error messages are clear and actionable
- Data persists after refresh
- Permissions match each user's role
Common issues
Pages fail to load — Resolve before continuing. Check DNS, URLs in Settings, and browser console errors.
Invitation emails not received — Verify the email address, environment mail configuration, and spam filters.
Settings not saved — Confirm you are signed in as an admin and that changes persist after refresh.
Incorrect provider information — Update the provider profile before go-live.
AI agents fail to load — Refresh the page and review agent configuration for errors.
Escalation
If an issue persists, contact your TempoDyn implementation team with:
- The module where the issue occurred
- The action you performed
