Getting Started

​

Welcome to Tented 🏕️

Tented is an AI marketing automation platform: instant landing pages, AI-written marketing email, a built-in contact database, and automated campaigns — all driven by natural language. This guide gets you from a fresh account to a live page and your first email campaign.

​

The lay of the land

Your sidebar has everything:

• Home — the prompt box. Describe something and Tented builds it.
• Tents — your AI-generated landing pages. (A tent is a complete, standalone page you can publish instantly.)
• Email — your emails, templates, and campaigns (blasts and triggered flows).
• People — your contact database and lists.
• Analytics — how it’s all performing.

​

Step 1: Add your branding

Upload your logo, icon, and brand color when prompted at signup (or anytime in Workspace Settings). Tented uses them everywhere — tents and emails — so everything comes out on-brand automatically.

​

Step 2: Create your first tent

On the Home page, describe the landing page you want:

“Generate a landing page for our new feature, ‘Predictive Scheduling’. The page must be high-converting and focused solely on capturing early access signups. Include a hero section, features, and pricing.”

Tented generates a complete, responsive page in about a minute. Refine it by chatting (“make the CTA bigger”, “add testimonials”), then click Publish to put it live on the web. For the full tour — editing, code mode, form submissions, publishing — see Creating Tents.

​

Step 3: Set up email

One-time setup, about ten minutes, and most of that is waiting for DNS:

1. Go to Settings > Email and add your sending domain. Copy the generated DNS records into your DNS provider and verify.
2. Fill out your sender profile (company name and mailing address — required by anti-spam law).
3. Set your default from name and address.

Step 4: Add your people

Head to People and bring in your contacts — one at a time with Quick Add, or in bulk with Import from CSV (Tented auto-maps your columns). Then organize them into lists: hand-picked static lists, or rule-based dynamic lists that keep themselves current.

​

Step 5: Send your first campaign

1. Go to Email > Add > Create Email, and describe the email you want — Tented writes and designs it, personalization tokens and all.
2. Click Approve when you’re happy (only approved emails can send).
3. Go to Campaigns > Create Email Blast: pick your list, pick your email, and Send now (or schedule it).

Then watch opens, clicks, and deliveries roll in on the blast’s results dashboard.

​

Step 6: Put it on autopilot

Once the manual version feels good, automate it: triggered flows enroll contacts automatically — when they’re added to a list, submit a tent form, or hit a date — and walk them through multi-step journeys with emails, waits, and branches.
