On the same principle, you can continue to fill the product with all the necessary content.

When you're ready for other people to access the content as well and start going through the product — activate it. To do this, click on the “Activate” button in the upper right corner of the screen:

After creating, filling content and activating the product — it's time to invite the first subscribers.

To make sure that everything works correctly — we recommend that you first follow the link and subscribe to the bot yourself. To do this:

1. Click on the link:

2. Confirm to open Telegram:

3. Click the “Start” button in the bot:

By subscribing to the bot we added in the first step, you will instantly receive a welcome message:

Your future subscribers will go the same way — now they don't need to save the site with a personal account in bookmarks and remember passwords from it. Training will be available in the familiar place in a few clicks.

Later, you can always copy the link to the product by clicking on the “Link” button in the upper right corner of the screen:

If you go back to the platform after subscribing to the bot, you will see that you have updated stats on subscribers in the product — 1 person started the training and ended up completing it:

If you're curious about who it was, just click on the “Started” or “Finished” tile. This will take you to the subscribers section, where you'll see a list of the people you're looking for:

If you want to get to know the person even better, click on their name and you'll see their profile with status, date of subscription and last activity, contacts, tags, notes, and a list of products:

From your profile, you can also write directly to a subscriber by clicking on the “Start сhat” button:

The chats make it easy to answer students' questions, give feedback on assignments, or send personalized suggestions.

In addition to text, you can send images, videos, files, stickers, gifs, emoji, voice, and video messages to your subscribers. In other words, you can communicate as you would directly from a messenger:

Thanks to the mini subscriber profile in chats — you'll always be in context and better understand who you're talking to:

All messages sent from Zenedu will arrive to people in the same bot.
