Activation is where a finished Genie becomes something a customer can launch. Every Genie has an activation pack that combines physical production files, digital sharing assets, mobile-app onboarding, and customer-ready messaging in one place. You’ll find it under Genie Hub → Activation (/genie-hub/activation). You can also jump straight to a Genie’s pack from that Genie’s workspace, from a conversation’s side panel, or right after finishing setup.

The Activation list

The list shows every Genie you have, each as a card with its avatar, name, and a status line — either Phone connected or Activation pack ready. Use the search box to filter by name; the count next to Your Genies shows how many match. Select any card to open that Genie’s activation pack. If the Genie doesn’t have a pack yet, one is created automatically with sensible defaults the first time you open it — see Creating an activation pack.
If you don’t have any Genies yet, the list shows an empty state instead. Choose Go to My Genies to create your first Genie — its activation pack is generated for you as part of setup.

The fastest day-one workflow

At the top of a pack, How to activate links to the four highest-value moves:
  1. Download the complete launch pack.
  2. Get people onto the mobile app.
  3. Share the tailored activation presentation.
  4. Add the email-signature widget.
For a new physical rollout, start with Download everything, review the starter print run, then either send the production files to your preferred printer or download the ZIP and hand it over yourself.

Download the complete launch pack

Download everything builds and checks the full pack before downloading it. If an expected file cannot be created or fetched, the download reports the problem rather than silently producing a partial pack.
Download everything section showing the ZIP contents list and Download button
The ZIP is organised for handoff rather than as a folder of loose files:
  • Send to printer — the sticker PDF, A4 poster pack, and A4 mobile-app install poster.
  • Placement inspiration — the lookbook showing where stickers, signs, cards, and QR placements can work. It is a reference guide, not manufacturing artwork.
  • Digital launch assets — QR images, social artwork, the app-poster image, the email-signature HTML, and the website embed snippet.
  • Promo copy — the available launch email, social, SMS, team, and website-banner drafts.
  • START-HERE, PRINT-JOB, and MANIFEST — the launch order, starter quantities, production notes, expected files, and the exact files included.
The recommended starter run is 100 QR stickers, 20 posters, and 10 app-install posters. These are starting quantities, not a required order.
The ZIP and printer-email workflow prepare and hand off a production job. Help Genie does not quote, manufacture, or ship printed materials. Your printer should confirm the final proof, stock, finish, price, lead time, and delivery address before going to print.

Get people onto the mobile app

The mobile activation section is intentionally near the top of the pack. Its smart link uses an install-first experience on iPhone and Android, with Continue on the web as a fallback. Desktop visitors can open the Genie on the web or send the install link to a phone.

You can:
  • copy the install link;
  • use the App Store and Google Play links;
  • download the branded app poster as PNG or 300-DPI A4 PDF;
  • share or print the install QR code.
The app poster, email-signature widget, and activation pack all use the canonical public Help Genie link, so artwork prepared from a preview or staging screen does not permanently embed a temporary hostname.

Send the production job to a printer

Order printed packs opens a draft printer handoff. A fresh draft starts with the recommended sticker and app-poster quantities and adds one poster design as the 20-poster starter run.

Use Add designs to print to choose another poster or add the generated sticker and app-poster files. Change quantities in the order, enter the printer’s email, and add notes such as the stock, finish, deadline, and delivery address. Send to Printer opens a final review sheet and emails verified production links to files owned by this activation pack. Replies go to the person who sent the order. When you confirm the handoff, Help Genie freezes every production file into a versioned printer snapshot so an edit in progress, a stale browser tab, or a second simultaneous send cannot substitute different quantities or files. Editing any pack input used by the artwork retires the open draft automatically, so the next printer handoff is rebuilt from the updated files. If delivery of the order email cannot be confirmed, the order stays locked for support review instead of risking a duplicate printer job. The poster and app-poster production files are rendered at A4 print resolution. The sticker file is rendered at its configured physical size. Always approve the printer’s proof before the full run.

Share the tailored activation presentation

The activation presentation is built specifically for this Genie — it uses its public description, purpose, audience, welcome message, and business branding, and its example outcomes change with the Genie’s actual role.

Use Preview to open it, then copy the link for customers or the team. A visible Get the app control stays available throughout the presentation. The final setup step leads with the pack-aware install link, which can open an installed app back into this Genie, while direct App Store and Google Play links stay available as secondary choices. Portal packs use portal-appropriate wording rather than presenting the portal as a single Genie.

Add the email-signature widget

The email-signature section shows a live preview of a compact branded card with two clear actions: talk to the Genie and get it on a phone. It uses email-safe table markup and inline styles.

Choose Copy signature to place both rich HTML and a plain-text fallback on the clipboard. Paste it into the signature editor in Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail. You can also download the .html source when an IT team manages signatures centrally. If a mail client strips the formatting, paste the plain-text version or use the installation hint shown in the section. No scripts or interactive embeds are used inside email signatures.

Activate customers by email

Activate customers accepts a pasted list or CSV of up to 300 customers and sends one combined onboarding email per recipient with the presentation, app-install link, and a working talk link when the pack belongs to a Genie. Duplicates are removed; malformed addresses are shown and must be corrected before sending, and a list over the limit is rejected rather than silently shortened. For a private Genie, each recipient gets their own reusable access, so their presentation, app setup, refreshes, and saved link keep working independently of everyone else in the campaign. Every campaign has a durable recipient ledger. A retry sends only addresses that are definitely known not to have been sent; confirmed deliveries and unconfirmed outcomes stay locked against automatic duplicates. Pending recipients are restored after a reload. If you intentionally start a new campaign while delivery is unknown, Help Genie warns that doing so may duplicate an email. The presentation-only and app-link team sends use the same safe retry model. Named Genie-access invitations are limited to 50 at a time, grant access to existing matching accounts before sending, and keep a distinct one-use talk link per invitee.
This customer launch does not grant dashboard access. Use Manage access when a specific person needs to sign in and administer the Genie.

Placement ideas and posters

The Lookbook is a placement-inspiration guide showing ways the Genie can appear in the real world. Download it for the customer or use it to decide what to produce, but send the individual sticker, poster, or app-poster production file to the printer. The Posters gallery contains the standalone poster designs. Download the full poster PDF from the gallery or add a selected design directly to the printer handoff.

Promote

The Promote section gives you ready-to-paste launch copy written from your Genie’s name, description, and link. There’s a card for each of:
  • Launch Email — announce your Genie to customers and prospects (includes a subject line).
  • Social Post — a post to share with your network.
  • Customer SMS — a short text for existing customers.
  • Team Announcement — an internal note so staff know how it works (includes a subject line).
  • Website Banner — short copy for a homepage strip or popup.
Each card has a tone switch — Professional, Friendly, or Punchy. Switching tone drafts that version the first time you pick it. Use Copy to grab the text, or the refresh button to draft a fresh version. Each card shows when it was last generated. The copy is written from the Genie’s own public or product description. The activation-pack description is treated as campaign context only, not as a statement of what the Genie does.

Pack settings and freshness

Expand Pack settings to change the pack name, description, contact channels, materials, sticker options, QR treatment, logo, phone-number visibility, and tagline. Each block has its own Edit toggle; your changes are held until you choose Save Changes in the header. Saving an input that changes artwork clears the old generated-asset cache. Saving the name, target, or description also clears affected launch copy. The next build regenerates those snapshots, so a previous logo, URL, sticker size, or tagline is not quietly sent to print. For a walkthrough of these same settings while first building a pack, see Creating an activation pack.

Deleting a pack

Open Pack settings, choose Delete this pack, and confirm in the side sheet. Deleting the activation pack does not delete the underlying Genie. You can open Activation later to create a fresh pack.
