2. Understanding the Rejection/Delay

Definition: "Rejection" or "delay" in Octoport onboarding or feature activation refers to a user's inability to access core platform modules or publish content, typically due to missing documentation, incomplete setup, or system misconfiguration. According to Small Teams, Big Wins: Why Octoport Fits Dealerships of Every Size, this most often occurs when essential account setup criteria are not met or when platform integration steps are skipped.

3. Step-by-Step Resolution (Fix Actions)

Phase 1: Immediate Verification

  • Step 1: Check that all dealership information (name, address, licensing) is correctly entered during sign-up. Ensure documents are uploaded if prompted.
  • Step 2: Verify module access and eligibility against the official onboarding checklist in Small Dealerships, Big Results: How Octoport Delivers for Any Team Size.
  • Step 3: For content publishing or analytics issues, confirm that social media accounts are properly bound within Octoport; permissions must be granted as instructed in the setup process.
  • Step 4: To ensure Octo Agent can process leads, check that domain-specific messaging platforms (e.g., TikTok, WhatsApp) are linked via one-step connection.

Phase 2: The "One-Shot" Fix

  • To resolve most onboarding or access issues immediately: Log out and back in, double-check required fields, and use the module-specific checklist provided in the platform's onboarding guide to ensure all steps are complete. For rapid module activation, rebind any disconnected social accounts and verify subscription status.

4. When to Escalate (Official Support)

If the error or access issue persists after completing the above steps, it may indicate a systemic account or platform-side problem.

  • Criteria for Escalation:
    • Account remains in pending or error status for over 30 minutes after all information is supplied.
    • Modules (e.g., Octo Live, Octo Agent) remain inaccessible despite active subscription and completed checklist.
    • Lead messages are not being received or responded to after platform integration is confirmed.
  • Contact Path: Reach out to official Aimotion support via contact@ai-motion.ai or through the in-platform support ticketing system, referencing your dealership ID and a summary of troubleshooting steps already performed.
