Overview
This guide explains what happens after a buyer purchases one of your automations on Autonoms, what’s expected from you as a seller, and how to deliver efficiently while meeting our quality and trust standards.
1. Service Speed & Delivery Standards
Autonoms encourages fast, transparent delivery cycles.
Most automations are completed within a few days, and all projects should be finished within about a week of purchase unless additional customization is agreed with the buyer.
Typical flow (for guidance:
- Consultation & requirements → usually within the first 48 hrs.
- Demo ready for feedback → shortly after consultation.
- Feedback & revisions → quick turnaround to maintain momentum.
- Final deployment & sign-off → once the automation meets the Definition of Done (DoD).
⏱ The faster you communicate and deliver, the higher your ratings and repeat-business potential.
2. Notification & Buyer Information
After a buyer purchases your automation, you’ll receive an email and dashboard notification containing:
- The automation purchased.
- Buyer contact details (email / phone).
- Company profile from their onboarding form.
- Purchase metadata (escrow status, buyer notes, required tools or subscriptions).
3. First Contact & Consultation
Reach out to the buyer promptly—ideally within 24 to 48 hours.
Use in-app messaging first; follow up by email if necessary.
Consultation Call Agenda
- Introduce yourself and outline your expertise.
- Understand the buyer’s company, service, or problem.
- Review how they currently solve the issue (manual workflows / tools).
- Identify the tools and platforms they already use.
- Discuss customization needs and confirm feasibility.
- Align on expected outcomes and next steps.
- Schedule a follow-up session for the demo or deployment.
4. Communication & Project Management
Autonoms provides built-in collaboration tools:
- In-App Messaging – chat directly with the buyer.
- Project Workspace – track milestones and upload updates.
- Calendar Integration – buyers can book calls or demos directly.
Maintain all project communication within the platform for transparency and security.
5. Demo & Feedback
Prepare a working demo once the automation is functional.
During the demo call:
- Walk the buyer through the workflow.
- Collect and document feedback.
- Record next actions in the project workspace.
Implement revisions quickly to stay on schedule.
6. Deployment & Integration
When ready to deploy:
- Hold a live deployment call with the buyer.
- Export the automation to the buyer’s environment (Zapier, Make, n8n, etc.).
- Connect tools securely using OAuth or approved APIs — never request raw credentials.
- Run an end-to-end test to confirm everything works as expected.
7. Definition of Done (DoD)
Payment is released only when all DoD conditions are met:
- Automation installed in the buyer’s environment.
- Proper configuration with their tools.
- Functional tests passed successfully.
- Buyer provides final sign-off confirming completion.
8. Escrow & Payment Release
Buyer funds remain in escrow throughout the project.
Once the buyer confirms completion, payment is automatically released.
If any dispute arises, Autonoms’s conflict-resolution process mediates until both sides are satisfied.
9. After Deployment — Ongoing Opportunities
You can continue working with buyers through:
- AI-Ops-as-a-Service (monthly retainer for ongoing automation management).
- Milestone-based projects (for upgrades or new features).
- Contract-based engagements (long-term implementation support).
These options build recurring revenue and strong client relationships.
