01

Getting Started

Sign in with your username and password. Some accounts may ask for a 6-digit security code.

  • Use the forgot-password option if it is available.
  • Ask your manager or account admin if your account may be inactive.
  • Access may vary by role, so not every user will see every page or button.

02

Daily Workflow

Most users will spend their day in Command Center, Conversations, Leads, and Campaigns.

  • Start in Command Center to review alerts and activity.
  • Open Conversations and reply to high-priority leads first.
  • Keep lead stages accurate so filters, reporting, and handoffs stay useful.

03

Working With Leads

The Leads page is your team's main list of people or businesses you are trying to reach.

  • Search, filter, import, export, assign, and update lead records.
  • Add a valid phone number or email before normal outreach can happen.
  • Use filters before bulk actions so you only update the leads you intend to update.

04

Managing Conversations

Conversations helps your team decide who needs a reply and what should happen next.

  • Mission Control highlights unanswered replies, high-interest leads, and cold conversations.
  • Pipeline groups conversations by stage so teams can focus quickly.
  • Review AI-written drafts before sending and respect opt-outs or Do Not Contact status.

05

Campaigns

Campaigns organize outreach to a group of leads for follow-up, re-engagement, or a specific offer.

  • Campaigns may be Draft, Active, Paused, or Archived.
  • Before launch, confirm the audience, message, channel, timing, and AI-written content.
  • If a campaign appears blocked or behaves unexpectedly, contact support.

06

Follow-Up Rules

Automations help TalonPulse take common actions when something happens, like a new lead arriving.

  • Rules may add leads to campaigns, send follow-ups, update fields, or route work.
  • Review the trigger, action, and scope before turning a rule on.
  • Turn a problematic rule off if you have permission and contact support.

07

Analytics & Command Center

Command Center shows what needs attention now. Analytics helps managers understand performance over time.

  • Watch reply rate, booking rate, close rate, meetings, messages sent, and pipeline value.
  • Use Analytics to spot trends, not one-off changes.
  • Check date ranges and filters first if a number looks wrong.

08

AI Settings & Copilot

AI Config controls assistants, products, company knowledge, and workflows. Access may be limited.

  • Only trained users should change assistant tone, instructions, or appointment behavior.
  • Keep company knowledge current when services, pricing, policies, or offers change.
  • Never paste passwords, security codes, or secrets into Copilot.

09

Communications & Settings

Admins can review messaging health, users, templates, branding, integrations, and notifications.

  • Use Communications to confirm texting and email connection status.
  • Keep team access current and remove access for people who no longer need it.
  • Review templates and branding before using them in live outreach.

Lead stages

Accurate stages help with filtering, reporting, follow-up, and team handoffs.

Managers

Troubleshooting

Check these first

A lead did not receive a message

  • Does the lead have a valid phone number or email?
  • Is the lead marked Do Not Contact or opted out?
  • Is the campaign active?
  • Was the message scheduled for later?
  • Does the message show as failed or blocked?

A campaign will not launch

  • Are the correct leads included?
  • Is the campaign active or ready to launch?
  • Does each lead have the needed contact information?
  • Has the message content been reviewed?
  • Is there an alert or warning on the campaign page?

AI replies look wrong

  • Is the correct product or service selected?
  • Is the company knowledge current?
  • Does the lead conversation contain confusing context?
  • Does the draft need a simple human edit?
