NUMBERS funnel — smoke test

Run this BEFORE the carousel goes live. Use a secondary Instagram account (not @gotauts) to simulate a real lead.

Prereqs check

• [ ] Carousel imported into Canva (variant #4 — receipts + editable text)
• [ ] Tally form published, URL copied
• [ ] Notion tracker page published as public template, URL copied
• [ ] Loom walkthrough URL ready (or skipped — Node 3 message accommodates)
• [ ] ManyChat trigger active, flow published
• [ ] Tally webhook → ManyChat connected

Test sequence

1. Stage a test post

• [ ] Export carousel from Canva (variant #4) as PNG sequence (8 PNGs, 1080×1080)
• [ ] In Meta Business Suite, schedule the carousel to a test slot 30 minutes from now (so we can post it real but to a quiet time)
• [ ] OR: post a quick test image to @gotauts with caption "test — please ignore" and use that for the smoke test, then archive after

2. Trigger the funnel

• [ ] From a secondary IG account (NOT @gotauts), comment NUMBERS (all caps, no other text) on the test post
• [ ] Expected: within 30–90 seconds, the test account receives a DM from @gotauts with greeting + Tally form link
• [ ] If fails: check ManyChat → Inbox → look for the comment event. If no event, trigger isn't firing — verify post is being monitored

3. Walk the Tally form

• [ ] Click the link in the DM
• [ ] Expected: Tally form loads on mobile (test on phone, not desktop)
• [ ] All 3 questions render with options as written
• [ ] Submit with: Q1 = Operator, Q2 = ROAS, Q3 = your-test-email@example.com
• [ ] Expected after submit: redirected to t.me/gustavsgotauts Telegram channel

4. Receive the tracker

• [ ] Within 60–120 seconds of submit, second DM lands from @gotauts
• [ ] Expected content:
• "Got it. Your bottleneck looks like ROAS"
• Tracker URL — clickable, opens Notion page
• "The row that matters most for you: ROAS column, day over day"
• Loom URL (if recorded; otherwise this line absent)
• Telegram link
• [ ] Click tracker URL → Notion page loads, shows the seed table + "Duplicate as template" works
• [ ] Click Telegram link → opens Telegram channel join page

5. Verify lead capture

• [ ] In ManyChat → Audience → find the test contact
• [ ] Expected custom fields populated:
• q1_journey = "Operator..."
• q2_bottleneck = "ROAS — my ads are not paying back."
• q3_email = your-test-email@example.com
• row_for_bottleneck = "ROAS column, day over day"

6. Cleanup

• [ ] Delete the test contact from ManyChat (or tag as test)
• [ ] Delete the test post from @gotauts (if you posted one)
• [ ] Remove the test email from any downstream system

Pass criteria

All 5 phases above complete cleanly with no manual intervention.

If any phase fails: 1. Pause — do NOT publish the real carousel yet. 2. Identify the exact node that broke (DM didn't arrive? form didn't redirect? webhook didn't fire?). 3. Fix in the relevant tool (ManyChat / Tally / Notion). 4. Re-run from Step 2 above.

Repeat until all green.

After pass: go-live

• [ ] Schedule the real H1 carousel via Meta Business Suite for tonight at a high-engagement slot (8–10 PM local for US audience; check his historical post timing for what works for @gotauts)
• [ ] Post a single test "NUMBERS" comment from secondary account 5 minutes after publish to confirm production funnel works the same as test funnel
• [ ] Watch ManyChat inbox + leads.md for first real lead
• [ ] First-night target: ≥1 captured lead = funnel is alive

Emergency abort

If anything goes catastrophically wrong post-publish: 1. ManyChat → Triggers → toggle NUMBERS funnel OFF (stops auto-DMs immediately) 2. Reply manually to any waiting "NUMBERS" comments with a "tracker coming, system glitch — DM me directly" note 3. Diagnose, fix, re-test, re-enable trigger
