The onboarding checklist (3 days flat)
Day 1: Portal setup and credentials
Goal: Get the system receiving leads.
- Portal access — agent gives you access to their Bayut Agent Pro dashboard
- Email forwarding — set up
leads@agentname.steinhoff.systemsforwarding to your Resend webhook - Agent identity — get the agent's exact name, phone, working hours, and the properties they currently have listed
- Calendar access — share Google Calendar with your service account
- CRM webhook — get the agent's Zoho/HubSpot/Google Sheets URL for lead handoff
Deliverable at end of Day 1: Test lead comes through the parser successfully.
Day 2: WhatsApp + Voice configuration
Goal: Get the outbound channels working.
- WhatsApp template approval — submit templates to Meta (takes 24–48h, so do this on Day 2 for Day 3 go-live)
- Voice agent script — customize the Retell AI script with the agent's name and typical property types
- Working hours — configure the system to only call during 9am–8pm Dubai time
- Phone number — provision a UAE number through Twilio for the agent (so leads see a local number)
Deliverable at end of Day 2: Can send a test WhatsApp message and trigger a test voice call.
Day 3: Testing and go-live
Goal: Live system handling real leads.
- Test with 3 fake leads — send test emails from Bayut Pro, verify the full flow
- Agent training — 15-minute screen share showing the dashboard (what they see when a lead comes in)
- Go live — switch to live mode, send agent the handoff checklist
- Start weekly report — set up the report that goes to the agent every Monday
Deliverable at end of Day 3: System is live and handling real leads.
