Learn PopAutomate with lessons inside the app
Open Guide and start a short lesson that walks you through the app. Nothing activates in your store until you click Enable scheduling yourself.
Guide has 7 lessons. Each lesson shows its name, its number of steps and how many minutes it takes:
| Lesson | What it shows you |
|---|---|
| Launch your first offer | All the steps of a new schedule, from the idea to activation |
| Auto-repeating offer | A schedule that repeats every week, and its days |
| Calendar & seasons | Your offers and upcoming occasions in the calendar |
| Track execution & fix issues | The schedule's status, its run history and retries |
| "End the offer early, or restore prices." | Ending an active offer before its end time |
| Quick offer in 2 taps | The quick offer window on Home |
| Discount permit | The Permits page and your permit balance |

Rules
- A lesson does not save anything. It may fill in fields in front of you to show you where they are, but they are not saved. During a lesson, the top of the new schedule page shows: "Learning mode: nothing runs until you press «Activate» yourself."
- Skip stops the lesson and does not count it as finished.
- Track execution & fix issues and the lesson on ending an offer open the last schedule you created. If you have no schedules, the cards appear without pointing at anything.
- Ending an offer restores your products. But an earlier sale price that the product had before the discount does not come back. Details in Restoring prices after an offer: what comes back?.
- At the bottom of the page, Quick answers has buttons that open a short explanation, such as What do the statuses mean? One of them is Didn't find your answer? Contact us.
- The lessons are the same on Salla and on Zid.
If it did not work
- The card is in the middle of the screen and does not point at anything: the page took a while to open, or you have no schedules yet. Click Next and keep going.
- The lesson did not count as finished: you may have clicked Skip. Replay the lesson and click Got it at the end.
- You want a discount now, without a lesson: Run a quick discount on Salla and Zid from Home
- You use a phone: PopAutomate on your phone: the tab bar and account menu
