This is the page to follow if you are new. Everything below is in dependency order, each step needs the one before it, so working top to bottom is genuinely faster than jumping around.
Email domain verification depends on DNS changes that can take up to 48 hours to take effect, and until it passes, EasyDigz cannot send email at all. Start it early. If you leave it to the end, you will finish everything else and then wait two days before you can email anybody.
#The sequence
- 1
Sign up and answer the About You questions.
This is what everything downstream is built from, your licence number pulls in your listings, your service areas fill your homepage, and your answers become your website copy. See Signing up.
- 2
Pick a theme and upload your photos.
The preview on the right is your real site, not a picture of one. See Choosing a theme.
- 3
Review your generated copy and publish.
This is the first screen that shows your real content, and reaching it unlocks your site for visitors. See Your website copy.
- 4
Reach Go Live and finish the wizard.
You do not need a verified email domain to reach this screen, only to actually send from it. See Signing up.
- 5
Check your listings and opportunities came in.
The MLS import runs off the licence number from your questionnaire and can take up to 24 hours. See The automatic MLS import.
- 6
Import your contacts.
CSV or Excel from wherever they live now. The importer fixes messy data rather than rejecting it. See Bulk upload.
- 7
Connect your custom domain if you have one.
Do this from Tenant Settings, any time. See Connecting your own domain.
- 8
Set up your custom email domain.
Do this from Tenant Settings as soon as you have a domain in mind, the DNS clock starts the moment you submit, and it can take up to 48 hours. See Why you must do this first.
- 9
Once it verifies, spread the word.
Send your launch email. Until you send one real email, EasyDigz keeps reminding you, deliberately. See Writing one email.
- 10
Keep going with outreach.
Campaigns and triggers, now that your contacts, listings and branded email are all in place. See The outreach workspace.
#What can run in parallel
Three things happen in the background and do not need you watching them. Start them, then carry on with the next step.
| Runs in the background | How long | You will know it finished when |
|---|---|---|
| EZ Assist writing your website copy | A few minutes | The Review step shows real text instead of sample copy |
| MLS import of your listings | Up to 24 hours | Listings and Opportunities fill up |
| Email domain DNS verification | Up to 48 hours | The Email Domain screen shows verified, and campaign sending unlocks |
#How you know you are done
EasyDigz tracks two milestones, and they are not the same thing. Understanding the difference explains a popup you will otherwise find puzzling.
| Milestone | Reached when | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Site unlocked | You reach the Review step | Your website opens normally for visitors instead of redirecting them |
| Setup complete | You actually send a real email | The "tell your contacts" reminder stops appearing at login |
Landing on Go Live does not mark you complete on its own. The platform waits until it sees a real email leave your account. That is deliberate, a site nobody has been told about is not really launched.
#If you already had an account
Agents whose accounts predate the setup wizard are handled differently, some never see it, some go through it behind a one-time terms gate. Signing up covers all three cases.
