​
Overview

After signing up, the onboarding flow guides you through initial workspace configuration. This ensures your workspace is ready for productive use from day one.

​
Steps

1

Workspace creation

Name your workspace and provide basic company info (industry, company size). This data helps tailor AI recommendations and plan suggestions.
2

Brand setup

Create your first brand with name, logo, and description. You can add AI specs (tone, keywords, policies) now or later.
3

Sample data (optional)

Load a sample catalog with demo products to explore the platform before importing your own data. The sample includes products across multiple categories with varying optimization scores.
4

Invite team (optional)

Invite colleagues by email. Assign them roles based on what they need to do — see Roles & Permissions.
5

Done

Your workspace is ready. The onboarding status is tracked and can be resumed if you skip steps.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"workspaceId": "ws_...", "industry": "fashion", "companySize": "51-200"}'

# Load sample catalog
curl -X POST "https://app.alana.shopping/api/onboarding/sample-catalog" \
