New Client Setup: Folders, Groups and Channels for Each New Customer
Every new customer gets the same checked setup, built by your rules.
New Client Setup is the new client setup agent in the Ai1 platform by MyZone AI: it builds each newly signed customer's folders, groups and channels in your own tools by the naming rules you approved, checks every name first and lists the few steps a person must finish.
Folders, groups and channels follow the naming rules you agreed, so nobody has to remember how the last one was laid out.
Mistakes caught before they exist
Names, duplicates and missing details are checked before a single folder or channel is created.
Nothing left half done
Each step gets a receipt, so a retry picks up where it stopped and never makes a second copy.
Your team stays in charge
People choose who works on the account and send anything the customer sees.

A short setup interview turns into a playbook you approve
What it reads
Only the labelled fields on your new-customer email or form
What it builds
Groups, folders and channels in Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams or Google Drive
Before it creates
Every value checked and names that already exist spotted
Hand steps
A short list your team ticks off, such as a name already taken
Customers
It never contacts them; your team sends the welcome and any invites
Capabilities
What New Client Setup does for you
Learns your setup rules
A short setup interview records your customer types, the details your new-customer form carries, your naming rules, which tools to use and who approves.
Reads the new-customer details
It takes only the labelled fields from your new-customer email or form. Free text in a message is never treated as an instruction.
Checks before it creates
It confirms every value, spots names that already exist and asks one clear question when something is unclear.
Builds the workspace
Microsoft 365 groups, SharePoint folders, Teams channels and Google Drive folders, created in your own accounts once setup is switched on for your business.
Lists the hand steps
Anything a person must do, such as a group it cannot create or a name already taken, goes on a short list your team ticks off.
Reports the result
Each run ends as Ready, or as set up but not ready with the open items named.
How New Client Setup differs from the Customer Onboarding Manager
The Customer Onboarding Manager works with the customer: it welcomes them and collects their details. New Client Setup works inside your own tools: it builds your team's folders, groups and channels for that customer by the rules you approved. It runs practice runs first, checks every name before it creates anything, never deletes or renames what it did not make and never contacts the customer, so your team stays in charge.
How this differs from the Customer Onboarding Manager: To welcome a new customer and collect their details, use the Customer Onboarding Manager; New Client Setup builds your team's internal workspace for that customer.
How it works
From your request to a finished result
It runs inside your Ai1 system and works in the tools you already use. You ask, it works, it reports, and it stops for your OK where it matters.

When to use it
Hand these situations to New Client Setup
Illustrative photo. A customer signed this morning, so get their folders and channels ready.
If this is you…
…here's what it does
You sign several customers in one week
Each one gets the same structure without anyone copying last month's folders by hand.
A new customer's name is already taken
The clash goes on the hand-step list instead of being renamed or merged on its own.
A setup stopped halfway
A retry checks each receipt and finishes only the missing steps.
Your naming rules change
You update the playbook once and approve it, and later setups follow the new rules.

Example customer setup report
Example: setup run report
Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended.
What it was asked: Customer 14 signed yesterday: set them up the way our playbook says for managed services customers, and tell us what still needs a person.
Example report
Customer 14 at a glance: provisioned, not readyChecks done before anything is createdFour planned steps, each with a receiptSteps a person does by hand, and what stays with your team
What it found: 3 findings, with the numbers
All 14 checks ran before anything was planned: 12 were clear, one form value was confirmed with a single question, and one existing Google group was flagged and left untouched.
Four setup steps are planned with a receipt each: a group, a shared folder, a team channel and a Drive folder, adding 9 items once switched on; this practice run created nothing.
Four steps wait for a person's Done reply, including choosing the team and contacting the customer, so Customer 14 is Provisioned, not ready; nothing was deleted, renamed or sent.
This is an illustrative example of the setup run report New Client Setup is being built to produce: the checks it runs, the steps it plans with a receipt each, and the steps it leaves for a person. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented IT services firm and an invented customer, with invented names, codes and figures. No real systems or people were involved, and nothing was created, sent or changed in any tool. Run date: .

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about New Client Setup
What should a team set up internally when it signs a new customer?
A shared folder structure, a group for the people on the account and a channel for day-to-day talk, all named by one agreed rule so anyone can find them later. Checking names before creating anything avoids duplicates. New Client Setup plans each step, creates only what your playbook says and lists anything a person must finish.
How should a small team name folders and channels for each client?
Pick one rule, such as the customer's name followed by a short code, write it down and apply it everywhere, including the group and the channel. A written rule means nobody copies last month's layout by hand. New Client Setup records your naming rules in a playbook you approve and follows them for every customer.
What is the safest way to finish a client setup that stopped halfway?
Check what was actually created before running anything again, then finish only the missing steps, so you never end up with a second copy of a folder or channel. New Client Setup keeps a receipt for every step, so a retry picks up exactly where it stopped.
What does new client setup involve?
Creating the internal home for a customer you just signed: shared folders, a group for the people on the account and a channel for day-to-day talk, all named consistently. New Client Setup does this in your own tools by the rules you approve and checks everything before it creates anything. Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams and Google Drive are trademarks of their owners; named only to describe the work, no partnership implied.
Will it contact our new customer?
No. It works only inside your own tools. People on your team send the welcome, any kickoff invites and anything else the customer sees.
What happens if a folder or channel name already exists?
It leaves the existing one alone and lists it as a step for a person to decide. It never renames, deletes or adopts anything it did not create.
Can we try it before it creates anything real?
Yes, and that is how it starts. Practice runs plan every step and create nothing until setup is reviewed and switched on for your business.
Is New Client Setup available now?
Not yet. Your Ai1 team will tell you when New Client Setup is ready for your account. You can talk to us today about how your team sets up new customers now.
