Getting started

From sign-up to your agents running: the steps, the first 30 days, and where everything is.

Lumière Agents follows up for your business: unpaid invoices, quotes, missed calls, insurance certificates and receipts. This page walks you from sign-up to your agents running.

1. Sign up

Pick one agent or all five at /start and pay the setup fee by card (Stripe). Within a few minutes you get a welcome email with a sign-in link. After that, sign in any time at /login with your email: we send a one-time link, there's no password.

2. Set up (about an hour)

1. Your sending address. On your page, enter the address your emails come from (for example billing@yourbusiness.com) and your business mailing address (required in every email's footer). See Your sending address.
2. Your data. Connect QuickBooks (read-only) or upload a spreadsheet for each agent. See QuickBooks and spreadsheets.
3. Each agent's settings. Every agent has its own section on your page with what it needs (a checklist, whose card is whose, the text callers get…). Each agent's guide explains it.
4. Your domain. We email you two or three DNS records so emails come from your own address and land in inboxes. When they check out, we switch you on.

3. The first 30 days: you approve every email

Every email an agent writes waits under Approve before sending on your page. Approve it, edit it, or skip it. Nothing goes out without you. After 30 days you can keep approving or let the agents send on their own (ask us). Missed-call texts are the exception: you write that text yourself, so it goes out right away, and you get a copy of every conversation.

4. Your page

• Overview: what needs you across all agents, and each agent's status.
• One section per agent: its numbers, its list of work, and its settings. Every section has a Pause button.
• Add agents: agents you don't have yet, added in a minute.
• Settings: sending address, QuickBooks, AI credits, billing and recent activity.

5. Every Monday

A results email at 8 am your time: money collected, quotes won, callers who texted back, documents and receipts on file, and anything waiting for you.
