Tutorial: Travel, tours and activities

Three test projects to run in your office. Each shows what you give your staff, what comes back and where you stay in control.

Today staff write the drafts and you approve them. Connections to email, chat, calendars and shops are being added one at a time, so early customers copy or send approved text themselves.
