Prerequisites

Create a Frevana Account

Go to the Frevana website.
Locate the "Sign Up" or "Start Free Trial" button on the top menu bar.
Click the button to begin the registration process.
Fill in the required information, such as email address, password, and company details.

Follow the instructions in the email to verify your account.
Ensure you have access to any necessary team resources or permissions if working with an organization account.

Familiarize Yourself with Workflow Concepts

Make sure you understand basic workflow automation concepts such as "triggers" (what starts a workflow) and "actions" (what happens after a trigger).
Review any internal documentation if your team already uses workflow automation tools.

💡 Tip: No advanced technical skills are necessary to use Frevana's workflow automation features.

Accessing the Frevana Platform

Log Into Your Frevana Account

Go to the Frevana homepage and click on "Log In" in the upper right corner.
Enter your registered email and password.
Click "Log In" to access your dashboard.

Navigate to Workflow Automation

Once on the dashboard, locate the main navigation menu on the left side of the screen.
Look for an option labeled "Workflows" or "Automation".
Click on this section to access all workflow-related tools and options.

💡 Tip: Frevana makes automated workflow tools accessible to all plan tiers.

Creating Your First Workflow

Start a New Workflow

In the Workflow section, find a button labeled "Create New Workflow" or "+".
Click the button to start a new workflow setup.

Choose a Workflow Template or Start from Scratch

You will see options for pre-built templates (like "AEO Article Writer," "Product Landing Page Maker," etc.) and a "Custom Workflow" option.
Select "Custom Workflow" to build from scratch, or choose a template that closely matches your needs.

Define the Workflow Trigger

In the workflow builder, locate the trigger section (usually at the top).
Click on "Add Trigger".
Select a trigger type, such as "New AI Query," "Scheduled Time," or "Manual Start."
Fill in any required details, such as selecting an AI model or entering search prompts.

{
  "trigger": "New AI Query",
  "model": "ChatGPT",
  "prompt": "List top products in [your category]"
}

💡 Tip: Start with event triggers tied to AI queries to maximize your visibility on platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini.

Add Actions to the Workflow

Click "Add Action" (usually directly below or beside the trigger).
Choose from actions such as "Send Notification," "Analyze Brand Visibility," or "Auto-Generate Content."
For content workflows, you can chain actions like "Fetch Product Data," then "Generate AEO Article," then "Send Report."

{
  "actions": [
    {"type": "Fetch Product Data", "source": "Amazon"},
    {"type": "Generate Content", "format": "AEO Article"}
  ]
}

💡 Tip: Frevana offers specialized actions for AEO, PR, and analytics. Pick what moves your brand's visibility forward.

Save and Name Your Workflow

In the top area, find the "Workflow Name" field.
Enter a descriptive title, such as "AI Visibility Monitor: Product X."
Click "Save" or "Create" to store your workflow.

Testing and Activating the Workflow

Test the Workflow

With your new workflow open, locate the "Test" or "Run Test" button—often found near the top-right.
Click the button. The workflow will run with test data or your live inputs, depending on settings.
Review the results, including any messages about successful steps or failures.

⚠️ Warning: Test workflows before activating—incorrect triggers or actions can send inaccurate data to AI platforms.

Review Workflow Output

Find the Output or Results panel below the workflow steps.
Check the generated reports, content, or notifications for accuracy.

Activate the Workflow

If satisfied, find the "Activate" or "Enable" toggle/button at the top right of the workflow builder.
Click to set the workflow live. You’ll see a visual indicator (such as a green dot or "Active" label).

💡 Tip: You can deactivate and re-edit workflows at any time.

Monitoring and Managing Workflows

View Active Workflows

Return to the main Workflows page.
Browse the list of all workflows, with status indicators like "Active," "Paused," or "Draft."

Monitor Workflow Logs and Performance

Click on any workflow name to open its details.
Scroll to the "Logs" or "History" tab.
Review each execution, trigger event, and resulting action.
Track metrics like completed steps, errors, and AI platform visibility outcomes.

💡 Tip: The logs section includes timestamps and messages for transparent troubleshooting.

Edit or Adjust Workflows

Use the "Edit" button on any workflow details page.
Modify triggers, actions, or settings as needed.
Save and re-test changes to ensure expected performance.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Trigger Misconfiguration

If no actions occur, double-check your trigger settings.
Ensure the selected event (such as a specific AI platform query) is configured properly.
Test with sample data to confirm correct firing.

Permission or Access Errors

For failures marked as "access denied" or similar, review your Frevana account permissions.
Go to Account or Settings, and verify the workflow has access to required data sources or AI models.

⚠️ Warning: Certain workflow actions may require admin or elevated permissions.

Workflow Failures or Errors

Review the error logs within the workflow details page.
Look for descriptive error messages, such as "data missing" or "action type not supported."
Adjust workflow configuration per the message or consult Frevana support.
