What it is
Grow is your shop assistant in Eveyla. It can send you a short message on Telegram at 6 am. It says how your week went and gives you up to three things to do today. Once a week and once a month, it also sends a recap: a longer message about how the week or month went. These messages are free and use no Grow credits.
Find it
First, connect your shop to Telegram. You do this once:
- Tap Settings in the bar at the bottom.
- Under Storefront, tap Order alerts.
- Tap Connect Telegram. Telegram opens.
- Tap START at the bottom of the chat with Eveyla Bot.
- Go back to Eveyla. The card says "Telegram alerts are on".
On a computer, a code shows after step 3. Scan it with your phone. Then tap START in Telegram. For more help, see Get orders on Telegram.
Then find the switch:
- Tap Orders in the bar at the bottom.
- Tap the green Grow tab on the left edge of the screen.
- Tap the orange number with a small star, at the top right of Grow. Grow credits opens.
- Scroll down to Morning brief on Telegram.
On a computer, Settings is in the bar on the left. Grow is at the top of that bar.
Every setting
Morning brief on Telegram
The app says: "A short message at 6 am with your top move, only on days Grow has something for you." Next to it is a switch. Green means on. Check that it is green.
Tap the switch to turn it off. This stops the morning brief, the weekly and monthly recaps, and Grow's slip check messages on Telegram. Tap it again to turn them back on.
If your shop is not connected to Telegram, there is no switch. The card says "Link Telegram in Settings to get a short message at 6 am with your top move." Tap Open Settings. Grow closes and the Order alerts sheet opens. (A sheet is a panel that covers part of the screen.) Connect Telegram there.
The morning brief
It comes from Eveyla Bot, in the same chat as your order alerts. It has a picture of Grow and this text:
- "Good morning," and your shop name, like "Good morning, Aisha's Cakes". Under it is the date, like "Friday, 16 Oct".
- "Your week": your sales and orders in the last 7 days, compared with the week before. For example: "MVR 4,200 from 31 orders, up 12% on the week before (MVR 3,750)."
- "What to do today": up to three moves, biggest first. A move is one thing to do, like "Restock Chocolate cake. 3 left, and it runs out tomorrow." See Grow: today's moves.
- "Also on Grow": a folded box. Tap it to open it. It has short facts, like "2 new customers this week."
Under the message are buttons. The first one is for your top move, like Restock now or Message regulars. It opens Grow at that move. Open Grow opens Grow on Today.
On a quiet day, a message can still come. It says "Nothing needs fixing today." and shows "Your week". Then "One idea for today" gives one idea, like "Share your shop link in a customer group today." It only has Open Grow.
Your week
Once a week, Grow sends a longer recap. It starts with "Your week," and your shop name, then the dates. It shows your sales and orders, compared with the week before. Then:
- "What went well": like your best day, new customers and your top seller.
- "What slipped": like fewer orders, smaller orders, or days with no orders.
- "For next week": up to three ideas, like "Keep Chocolate cake in stock and near the top of your shop."
- "More numbers": a folded box with more facts, like your online sales and your sales at the Counter (the POS tab).
- "Today": today's top move, if there is one.
The buttons are See the week in Insights and Open Grow. See See how your shop is doing.
A long recap can come as two messages: first the picture, then the text with the buttons.
Month recap
After a month ends, Grow sends a recap of that month. It starts with the month and your shop name, like "October at Aisha's Cakes". It shows your sales, orders and average order, compared with the month before. Then come "Top sellers", "Your customers", "When and where", "What slipped", ideas for the next month (like "For November") and "Today".
The buttons are See October in Insights (with that month's name) and Open Grow.
Slip check messages
If Grow checks your payment slips, it sends two more messages to this chat. "Slip checks paused" comes when it runs out of credits, with a Top up button. "Slip checks back on" comes when it has read the slips that waited. If one of them shows a different amount, the message says so, like "#12 shows a different amount." Then tap Open #12 to see that order. See Let Grow check payment slips.
Who can use it
Only the owner sees Grow and this switch. The messages go to your chat with Eveyla Bot, the one you connected in Settings. Team members who connect their own Telegram for order alerts do not get them.
The morning brief needs a Storefront. It is free and uses no Grow credits.
Common mistakes
I see Open Settings, not a switch
Your shop is not connected to Telegram. Tap Open Settings and connect Telegram. Then open Grow credits again. The switch is there now.
No brief came this morning
Open Grow credits in Grow. Check that Morning brief on Telegram is green. If it is grey, tap it.
Then check that Telegram is still connected:
- Tap Settings in the bar at the bottom.
- Tap Order alerts.
- If the card says "Get order alerts on Telegram", tap Connect Telegram.
- In Telegram, tap START.
The weekly recap stopped too
One switch controls the morning brief and both recaps. Turn Morning brief on Telegram back on.
A button in the message opens the sign-in page
Sign in to Eveyla with the owner's account. If Grow does not open, tap the button in Telegram again.
Tip
Read the brief before you open your shop. Tap the top move's button and do that move first.
