For first-time Discovery implementations

Coincide with your new website or booking engine

1

First, launch your new website or booking engine.

Take 1-2 days to sanity check and dial in the website and booking engine prior to launching your platform.

2

After, deploy Discovery following this post-launch window.

For existing Discovery implementations

Minor enhancements

Examples include changing colors, moving locations of booking buttons or booking bars, reorganizing site sections, or changing class names. For expansive design support, talk to Customer Success.

1

Let your Customer Success Manager know about upcoming changes.

Aim to give at least 7 days notice prior to your scheduled launch date.

2

Your Customer Success Manager audits and updates Discovery.

We’ll make any design and platform adjustments as needed, and test.

3

Deploy your enhancements, and our team coordinates to switch on any platform updates at the same time.

Major enhancements or a total relaunch

circle-info

Examples include migrating to a new booking engine, making significant structural changes to your website, or changing booking URLs. For expansive design support, talk to Customer Success.

1

Let your Customer Success Manager know about upcoming changes.

Aim to give at least 7 days notice prior to your scheduled launch date.

2

Flip.to pauses your platform during your launch window.

Two days prior to launch, and up to two days following, Flip.to will pause the platform. In that time, sanity check and dial in the website and booking engine prior to relaunching your platform.

While paused, Discovery will continue to engage existing planners who return to your website, but will not engage new planners.

3

After the sanity check, your Customer Success Manager redeploys your platform. πŸŽ‰

For staging sites

In some cases, a staging site can be used to bring your platform back on board even faster.

Share the link and any credentials to your Customer Success Manager.

We’ll access and review the staging site, confirming it contains our scripts.

Our Customer Success team configures every aspect of Discovery to get you started. You'll receive preview links to review and approve, and at any point you can tweak the configuration in your account.

Have a great launch! πŸš€
