The 7 checks

Decide how Filo answers messages

Good to know

  • You changed your website. In General, tap Run the onboarding again. Filo reads the website again, refreshes your brand kit and drafts 3 new posts. Your subscription is not touched.
  • Several locations. If your locations share one name and one Instagram, one workspace is enough. If each location has its own pages and its own customers, give each its own workspace. See Manage your connected accounts.
  • Webhooks. This section is for developers who connect Filo to another system. You can ignore it.
