Getting Started
Introduction
Get started with Calypso — set up your team, connect channels, and launch your first flow.
What is Calypso?
Calypso is a team dashboard for running customer conversations across WhatsApp and web widgets. It brings together:
- Inbox for live conversations (assigning, tagging, closing)
- Flows for routing + automation (Canvas Flows)
- Customers to manage contact records and subscription status
- Templates & Campaigns for WhatsApp outbound messaging
- Knowledge to ground widgets/bots with Files, Websites, and Q&A
- Analytics & Reports to measure performance
Quick start (10 minutes)
1) Sign in and pick a team
- Sign in to Calypso
- Use the team switcher to select (or create) a team
2) Invite teammates (optional)
Go to Organization → Members to invite teammates and assign roles.
- Owners/Admins can manage configuration
- Agents can focus on Inbox work
3) Add customers
Go to Customers and add customers:
- Manually: add one customer at a time
- CSV: upload multiple customers in bulk
4) Build your first flow
Go to Flows:
- Create a new flow
- Assign it as the Default flow

Canvas routing is guarded: you can only enable it when a default flow exists and is enabled.
