The full process
Eight steps from registration to automated accepts and billing.
Create your operator account
Start on the sign-up page with a username, email, and password.
Open Sign up from the site header and fill in your operator details. Choose a username you will use to log in, add a valid email for account notices, and set a secure password.
If you are registering on behalf of a company or organization, use your work email so our team can verify your account quickly.
Wait for admin approval
New accounts are reviewed before portal access is enabled.
After you submit registration, your account status is pending until an administrator approves it. This keeps the platform secure and ensures every operator is verified.
You will not be able to sign in until approval is complete. If you need faster onboarding, contact us with your company name and expected order volume.
Log in to the operator portal
Once approved, sign in to reach your dashboard.
Use Log in from the header and enter the username and password you registered with. You land on your operator dashboard where you can see stats, orders, linked inboxes, and billing.
Admins manage users from a separate console — operators always use the user portal after sign-in.
Connect your Gmail inbox
Link the Gmail account that receives vendor order broadcasts.
From the portal, go to Add email (or Linked emails) and choose Connect Gmail. You will be redirected through Google OAuth — the same secure flow used by major apps. Pulse never stores your Google password.
Use the inbox that actually receives eStreet and vendor broadcast emails. You can add more than one inbox later if you run multiple operators or markets.
Set your target ZIP codes
Tell Pulse which areas you want orders from.
Open settings for the linked inbox and add the ZIP codes you cover. Only broadcasts matching those ZIPs will be considered for acceptance — so you never pay for orders outside your territory.
Update ZIPs anytime as your coverage grows. Changes apply on the next incoming broadcast.
Fine-tune filters (optional)
Add state rules, fee minimums, and schedule windows if you need tighter control.
Beyond ZIP targeting, each inbox supports optional state filters, minimum order amount rules, and active hours. Use these when you want to narrow accepts during certain times or fee ranges.
Filters are evaluated before any accept attempt, so you stay in control of volume and cost.
Turn on the bot
Enable automation and Pulse is always ready to detect new orders instantly.
Toggle the bot on for your linked inbox from the dashboard or email list. When a matching broadcast arrives, Pulse accepts through the portal in seconds — no manual clicking during surges.
You can turn the bot off instantly for maintenance, vacations, or testing. Status and recent activity are visible on the Bot status page.
Track orders, logs & billing
Every accept is logged with full transparency in your portal.
Accepted orders appear on your Orders page with timestamps, ZIP, subject, and status. Billing summarizes what you owe per period based on successful accepts only.
Download history, review acceptance trends, and reconcile charges — no surprise invoices, because you only pay when Pulse successfully accepts an order for you.
