Quick start

Install Arcanum Engine, connect team alerts, set commerce profile, install your first playbook, and verify results.

Use this checklist to go from install to a verified playbook in under 15 minutes. The same five steps appear as the Launch checklist on Command center.

Starter path (email playbooks)

  1. Install Arcanum Engine and choose Starter (7-day trial).
  2. Open Settings → Email alerts — paste your Resend API key, verified from address, and team recipient inboxes.
  3. Send Test connection and confirm the email arrives.
  4. Set commerce profile (vertical and primary goal) when prompted.
  5. Install Inventory Guardian (Email), Revenue Watch (Email), or Winback Engine (Email) from Systems library.
  6. Trigger a test event (adjust inventory, start checkout for abandon recovery).
  7. Open Results — confirm a SUCCESS row and review impact summary.

Growth path (Slack, Discord, Teams, full library)

  1. Switch to Arcanum Engine Growth in Settings if needed.
  2. Connect Slack, Discord, or Microsoft Teams in Settings and send a test message.
  3. Optional: connect Klaviyo for lifecycle track events on eligible playbooks.
  4. Install a commerce system (confirm included playbooks) or an individual Growth playbook.
  5. Verify Results after a test order or inventory change.

After install

Command center shows a success banner when you finish installing a playbook, system, or pack. Automation slot usage appears in the page subtitle (for example 1 of 3 on Starter or 2 of 10 on Growth).

Abandoned checkout testing

Abandoned checkout fires after your configured idle delay plus up to 5 minutes. Close the checkout tab after entering email; do not expect an alert while the customer is still editing checkout.

Connect email alerts (Starter)
