1	# Ad Slots Platform Help
2
3	## Step 1 — Gather context
4
5	If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
6
7	Ask the user:
8
9	1. What's your Ad Slots situation?
10	- A) Evaluating Ad Slots — haven't signed up yet
11	- B) Setting up Ad Slots — configuring sponsors, calendar, or Stripe
12	- C) Using Ad Slots — troubleshooting or optimizing workflows
13	- D) Comparing Ad Slots to Sponsy or other ad management tools
14
15	2. Which plan are you on (or considering)?
16	- A) Starter (free — 5 active sponsors, 25 AI ads/month)
17	- B) Growth ($49/mo — unlimited sponsors, Stripe integration, unlimited AI)
18	- C) Not sure yet
19
20	3. What's your newsletter setup?
21	- How many sponsors do you typically manage?
22	- Which ESP do you use (Beehiiv, Substack, Ghost, etc.)?
23	- Are you currently using spreadsheets to track sponsors?
24
25	Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.
26
27	## Step 2 — Route or answer directly
28
29	\| If the question is about... \| Route to... \|
30	\|---\|---\|
31	\| Newsletter monetization strategy (pricing, models, which revenue streams) \| `/sales-newsletter [user's question]` \|
32	\| Finding sponsors to pitch \| `/sales-sponsorgap [user's question]` or `/sales-paved [user's question]` \|
33	\| Sponsorship operations with advertiser portals and Zapier automation \| `/sales-sponsy [user's question]` \|
34	\| Growing your subscriber list \| `/sales-audience-growth [user's question]` \|
35	\| Email deliverability or spam issues \| `/sales-deliverability [user's question]` \|
36
37	When routing to another skill, provide the exact command.
38
39	If the question is about Ad Slots itself (setup, configuration, Stripe, AI copy, calendar management), continue to Step 3.
40
41	## Step 3 — Ad Slots platform reference
42
43	Read `references/platform-guide.md` for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, Stripe integration, AI copy generator, and workflow guidance.
44
45	Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
46
47	## Step 4 — Actionable guidance
48
49	Focus on the user's specific situation:
50
51	- Evaluating: Compare Ad Slots vs Sponsy vs spreadsheets based on sponsor count, budget, and automation needs
52	- Setting up: Walk through sponsor entry, calendar configuration, and Stripe connection
53	- Optimizing: Help with AI copy workflows, fulfillment tracking, and revenue reporting
54	- Migrating: Guide spreadsheet-to-Ad Slots transition
55
56	If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in `references/learnings.md`, append it there.
57
58	## Gotchas
59
60	> Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.
61
62	1. Stripe is Growth-plan only — the free Starter plan doesn't include Stripe integration. You can track sponsors but can't automate invoicing until $49/mo.
63	2. No ESP integration yet — Ad Slots doesn't auto-insert ads into Beehiiv, Substack, or any ESP. You copy-paste the AI-generated ad copy manually. Direct ESP integrations are on the roadmap.
64	3. No API, no webhooks, no Zapier — there's no programmatic access. Everything is UI-driven. If you need automation, consider Sponsy instead.
65	4. AI copy limit on free plan — Starter plan caps AI ad generation at 25 per month. Growth plan is unlimited.
66	5. Manual workflow beyond scheduling — Ad Slots handles the calendar and invoicing, but ad creative delivery, performance reporting, and sponsor communication still happen outside the tool.
