What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Kickoff for a four-week Starter implementation: four connectors (the full limit), 15 users, nightly refresh by 07:00. Training booked for the following week. Customer questions were practical, with no concerns raised.
What happened: Laura Penhaligon opened the four-week Starter implementation with Ellie Rowcliffe and Ben Tozer. The four connectors are CRM, call recordings, emails and accounting software.
Customer view: Ellie asked when the team could start using it and how many users were licensed. Ben asked about refresh timing and what Salesforce access was needed.
Commercial: The four connectors use the whole Starter connector limit, so any further source means an upgrade to Growth. Amara becomes CSM after implementation with a six-monthly check-in.
Watch: Ben owes review of the connector spec and any flags by Friday. The call does not show who at the customer owns the budget or the renewal.
