Quick Start Guide

1. Enable Apps in Configuration


# config.py (see /getting-started/configuration for complete setup)
from django_cfg import DjangoConfig, TaskConfig
 
class MyProjectConfig(DjangoConfig):
    # User Management (see /features/built-in-apps/user-management/overview)
    enable_accounts: bool = True
    enable_leads: bool = True
    enable_support: bool = True
    enable_newsletter: bool = True
 
    # AI & Knowledge (see /ai-agents/introduction)
    enable_knowbase: bool = True
    enable_agents: bool = True
 
    # Operations (see /features/integrations/django-rq/overview)
    enable_maintenance: bool = True
    tasks: TaskConfig | None = TaskConfig()  # Background task processing

2. Run Migrations


python manage.py migrate

3. Access Admin Interface

See Unfold Admin for modern admin interface.


# Navigate to Django admin
http://localhost:8000/admin/
 
# Each app has its own admin section:
# - /admin/accounts/
# - /admin/leads/  
# - /admin/support/
# - /admin/maintenance/
# etc.

Inter-App Integration

Complete Customer Journey


# 1. Lead Capture (Leads App)
lead = Lead.objects.create(
    email="[email protected]",
    source="website_form"
)
 
# 2. Account Creation (Accounts App)
user = UserRegistrationService().convert_lead_to_user(lead)
 
# 3. Newsletter Subscription (Newsletter App)
Subscriber.objects.create(email=user.email, user=user)
 
# 4. AI-Powered Support (Support + Knowledge Base)
if user.needs_help():
    # Create support ticket
    ticket = Ticket.objects.create(
        customer=user,
        subject="Getting Started"
    )
    
    # AI agent handles initial response using knowledge base
    ai_response = KnowledgeAgent().handle_ticket(ticket)
