Use this page to find the canonical answer to common Trellis questions. The linked article owns the full steps, checks, and recovery guidance.

Getting started

Start with one property connection, one message channel, one AI Agent in review mode, the teammates who need access, and one safely tested workflow. Follow the Quickstart and use its readiness checklist before expanding.
Confirm the expected property and reservation are present, a safe inbound test reaches Inbox, the AI Agent uses the right source, teammates see only their work, and Workflows > Runs shows a successful safe test. See the Quickstart.
Choose the channel your team already uses for the highest volume of work. Follow the guide for email, WhatsApp, phone and SMS, or Slack.

AI Agent and knowledge

Put a changing property fact on the property, a company-wide policy in a document, agent voice and limits in instructions, and a repeat procedure in a skill. See AI Hub.
Start in review mode, test a property fact, a policy, a procedure, and a hand-off case, then review the result with your team. Follow Launch and hand off your AI Agent.
Find the source that should own the answer, correct it there, and repeat the same test before allowing automatic replies. Follow Fix wrong AI information.

Tasks, teams, and workflows

Create or choose the cleaning task, confirm its property and checklist, assign it, complete a safe field test, and have a manager review the result. Follow Run your first cleaning operation.
Vendor access is managed from Settings > Permissions. Confirm the contact, property access, and task types before resending an invitation. See Set up a vendor.
Use a safe example, inspect every step in Workflows > Runs, and require approval before a sensitive message or change. See Workflow automations.
Start with the least access the person needs, limit property scope, and test with the invited account. See Choose roles and property access.

Connections and troubleshooting

Check the connection status, open a recent record in the source system and Trellis, use the refresh method shown for that integration, and confirm the latest known change arrived. Start with the Integrations overview.
Use the Troubleshooting symptom index. It routes sign-in, message, sync, AI, task, notification, and mobile issues to the safest first check.
Include the affected property, conversation, task, or workflow; the time it happened; what you expected; what you saw; and a screenshot with private guest details hidden when possible. Email [email protected].
