Tips & operations

  • Set up email tracking — IMAP setup is critical
  • Define pipeline stages upfront — changing later disrupts reporting
  • Permissions discipline — multi-team setup needs role definitions

  • Backup MySQL + uploads — both essential
  • Module discipline — enable only what you'll use
