Getting started

Is DH Connect free to use?

The core DH Connect card tool is free. Publishing a standard card is not a purchase or a requirement to join another program. Optional tools can have their own availability and usage limits; read the actual tool's message rather than assuming unlimited AI generation.

How do I sign in or create an account?

Open https://dhconnect.io/sign-up and create your DH Connect account using Email + Password. Return at https://dhconnect.io/sign-in with the same sign-in email and password. If invited, begin with your invitation link and review the displayed sponsor before completing Account Setup.

Where do I reset my DH Connect password?

Open https://dhconnect.io/sign-in and select Forgot password. Follow the verification and reset steps for your sign-in email. Your Account Info contact email is a separate field. Never share a password or verification code.

Why am I sent to Account Setup before Studio?

Account Setup needs to be completed before private workspace use. Review the required details and sponsor information, then submit. Creating another account is not a solution for an incomplete setup.

What should I do first?

Complete Account Setup, create one simple card in Studio, work through Setup, Front Door, The Hook, and The Close, then publish and test the public link signed out. You do not need to learn every team tool before sharing a card.

Do I need AI to create my card?

No. The standard manual card editor is a complete way to build and publish. Use assistance only if the specific control is enabled and its limits and draft behavior make sense for your task.

Can I use the workspace on a phone?

The workspace adapts to smaller screens, where navigation may appear as an icon rail. Use the icons' labels or titles to identify destinations. Test the finished visitor card on a phone as well as in the editor.

Why do AI Growth Partner and Content Creator say Coming Soon?

Those production workspace controls are not currently available as live member features. A development or owner preview does not mean they are released to everyone. You do not need to configure them to use the standard card builder.

Are Ava, Instant URL Builder, and AI Growth Partner the same thing?

No. The tools have distinct purposes, availability, and usage limits. Read the exact control name and current status. An enabled builder assistant is not proof that the separate AI Growth Partner workspace is released.

Will AI assistance automatically publish my card?

Treat assistance as draft work and review its results. Publication requires your explicit Publish Card action. Check the actual saved state when returning to unfinished work; closing an assistant is not proof that it finished or published.

Can I print or save the guides for later?

Yes. Use an article's print action and your browser's Save as PDF option, or download the complete written handbook from the Help Center. Browser print menus vary. The handbook is a snapshot; check the online Help Center for later updates.

What information should I include when asking for help?

Include the page, selected card or feature, exact action, expected and actual result, visible error, device/browser, and approximate time. Redact private information. Do not include passwords, codes, cookies, secrets, or private lead details. This Help Center does not submit support tickets.

Card Studio

How many standard Studio cards can I create?

Standard Studio currently provides five card slots. When all five are in use, Create New Card is unavailable. Review Card Vault carefully before deleting an existing card to make space.

Is Card Name the same as my public link?

No. Card Name is an internal organizer. The public handle determines the card's public URL, and visitor-facing headings are separate content. Renaming a card does not automatically change its public link.

How do I switch between cards?

Use the Card Name selector in Studio and check the selected card before editing or publishing. Wait for saves and uploads to finish before switching.

How do I rename a saved card?

Use the card's naming control in Card Vault, enter a descriptive internal name, and choose Save Name. This does not rename a reusable media source or reserve a different public handle.

Where do I delete a card?

Use Delete inside Card Vault for the specific card and read the confirmation. Deletion is not a temporary pause. Check shared links and preserve important content before confirming; cancel if you are unsure.

Does autosave make my changes live?

No. Signed-in draft autosave keeps unfinished work private. Continue validates or completes the relevant stage; Publish Card explicitly updates the public version. These are separate actions.

Can I leave an unfinished card and return later?

Yes, private draft saving supports unfinished signed-in work. Wait for the save status and current uploads to finish, and resolve any error before leaving. Do not assume a failed save or upload completed in the background.

What are Setup, Front Door, The Hook, and The Close?

Setup configures the selected card. Front Door introduces the offer. The Hook asks a useful question with answer choices. The Close gives each defined answer a relevant message and next action.

Why is there no visitor preview on Setup?

Setup is private configuration. Visitor previews belong on the card-content steps such as Front Door, The Hook, and The Close.

Why can I not edit my name or email in Studio Setup?

Shared basics come from Account Info and may be read-only in Studio. Correct them in Account Info, save, then return to the intended card and review whether its public version needs republishing.

What makes a good Hook question?

Ask one easy question about what would help the visitor now. Use distinct, truthful answer choices that lead to useful next steps. Avoid internal tag labels, sensitive questions, or choices that all mean the same thing.

Why does each Hook answer have its own Close?

Different answers represent different visitor needs. Each defined choice has its own message, media, and next action. Review every choice; editing one ending does not automatically update the others.

Why is a Close editor missing?

Check whether the corresponding Hook choice is defined. Only the choices you actually define should appear as choice-specific Close editors. Revisit The Close after changing your answers.

What characters can I use in a public handle?

Use 1–40 lowercase letters, digits, or hyphens, beginning with a letter or digit. System paths are reserved and another card may already own a handle. The builder's availability result is authoritative.

Why is my public handle unavailable?

It may be reserved or already owned. Pick another clear variation. An internal card name does not reserve a public handle, and creating a new card must not silently replace an existing public card.

Why is Publish Card disabled?

Select a card and open it in Card Editor rather than Card Vault. Wait for saves or uploads to finish, then resolve required fields or validation messages. Read the visible reason instead of repeatedly clicking.

What do the red field messages mean?

A field or stage needs correction. Read the inline instruction and fix that specific value; the builder may move you to the affected section. A draft can exist without being complete enough to publish.

Do I need to publish again after editing a live card?

Yes. Review the edits and choose Publish Card to apply the intended update to the public version. Then check the exact public URL in a fresh private window.

Why does my public card still show old content?

Confirm the selected card, a successful republish, and the exact URL you opened. Test signed out. If only a social thumbnail is old, that can be external preview caching rather than an outdated card.

Sharing & media

Which link should I share with visitors?

Use the published card URL provided by the app. Do not share Studio or Pipeline addresses, which are private. Use a referral invitation when your goal is to invite someone to create an DH Connect account.

What is the difference between dhconnect.io and dhconnect.me?

dhconnect.io is the main marketing and dashboard hub. dhconnect.me is the clean-link personal card runtime. Copy the app-provided URL for your task instead of reconstructing one by hand.

Why is someone asked to sign in after opening my link?

Check whether you shared a private workspace URL instead of the published card link. Published visitor cards should be tested independently of your signed-in editing session.

Why does Facebook or a messaging app show an old preview?

External apps can cache link titles and images. Confirm the card itself is updated, use the current share option after publishing, and distinguish the cached preview from the actual destination page.

What is the photo upload size limit?

The app optimizes photo uploads; the optimized image must be 8 MB or smaller. Check the account storage indicator too. A smaller, clear source image can help when an upload fails.

What should I do when a photo upload fails?

Check the connection, image suitability, and available storage, then retry manually. Do not assume a failed file is queued offline or will upload automatically later.

Can I reuse an uploaded photo?

Yes. Use My Media and the available media picker, give photos recognizable names, and review the selected image in the correct stage. Do not assume selecting it automatically publishes the card.

Why is my photo visible in Studio but not on the public card?

Confirm you selected the right card and published after changing the image. Test signed out and note whether the failing image is on The Hook or a specific Close. Use the troubleshooting guide if the published image still fails.

Do I have to use a video on my card?

No. A photo or carousel can communicate your message. Choose the format that genuinely helps the visitor, and keep important information understandable without playback.

Can I upload a video file directly?

The direct video-upload flow is currently disabled. Use the available link-based media controls with an existing supported public watch link, or use a photo/carousel instead.

Why do Reels and TikTok open a watch link instead of playing inline?

Direct-watch cards are intentional for Meta Reels and TikTok because mobile iframe playback can be unreliable. Test that the link opens the intended media; the provider controls its own access requirements.

Why does external media play for me but not for visitors?

Your provider login may let you see content that is not publicly watchable or embeddable. Test the watch page signed out and check its permissions, restrictions, and availability at the hosting provider.

Pipeline

Why is Pipeline empty?

You may not have genuine submissions yet. A card visit is not automatically a first-name submission or captured lead. Check the selected card, available filters, live/demo state, and refresh result.

Is a submitted first name verified identity?

No. It is self-reported context. It does not establish verified identity, complete contact information, membership, buying intent, or a completed conversation.

Does a contact-button click mean a message was sent?

No. A click or app handoff may open a destination or prepare text. The visitor still needs to send the message, and that event alone is not confirmed delivery or a completed conversation.

Is a lead the same thing as a team member?

No. Pipeline concerns genuine visitor submissions and follow-up. A team member requires an actual attributed signup and sponsor relationship. Views, clicks, and names are not team enrollment.

Why do older totals have less action detail?

Historical records may not contain the same breakdown as newer button tracking. Retain the totals within their original scope; do not infer exact past actions that were not recorded.

Are Pipeline tags and Team tags shared?

They serve different scopes: prospects in Pipeline versus members in Team Command. Use the correct workspace and authorized options. A matching tag name does not make them the same relationship.

When does a Choice Auto Tag apply?

The Pipeline mapping is tied to the matching CTA click. The Team mapping requires a new attributed signup under its conditions. Choosing an answer alone is not sufficient for a Team tag, and tags do not change sponsorship.

Why is my follow-up reminder still there after I took action elsewhere?

External activity should not be assumed to clear your own reminder. If the reminder offers Done, use it when the actual task is complete. Review the saved state rather than expecting an unrelated automation to resolve it.

Team & Spotlight

Where is Member Card Studio?

Open Member Spotlight and use its own tabs. Member Card Studio belongs there, not in the standard Studio card editor.

Can my Member Spotlight appear publicly?

Active published Member Spotlights may appear on public surfaces. Drafts and inactive variants are distinct. Publish only information you intend to be public and do not include private lead details.

What does Verified mean?

In this member context it means verified email. It is not a claim of independently verified identity, business results, income, or membership in another program.

Is my referral link the same as my card link?

No. A referral link invites someone to join DH Connect through you. A published card link opens your visitor-facing card. Use the exact link provided for your goal.

Someone opened my invitation. Why are they not on my team?

Opening a link does not complete a new attributed signup. They may not have finished setup or may already have an account. Do not create duplicate accounts or assume a click establishes sponsorship.

Can a tag or a different card change someone's sponsor?

No. Permanent referral lineage is separate from tags and card choices. Do not promise a sponsorship change through those controls.

Why do Team Command counts change when I switch the period?

The selected reporting period and tag scope affect which activity is summarized. Compare like-for-like periods and do not interpret app activity as proof of sales or business outcomes.

Is Demo View real team or lead data?

No. Owner-only Demo View uses labeled fictional presentation data. It must not be treated as real leads, referrals, awards, messages, or deliveries.

Are Connect and Rescue Nudge a chat service?

No. They use private recipient-owned request forms. Review the supplied request and available next actions; do not expect live chat or infer confirmed receipt from submission alone.

Why are my visitor submissions not in Inbox?

Inbox is for internal requests. Pipeline is the destination for genuine visitor submissions and lead follow-up. They are intentionally different areas.

Does a Team Broadcast also send a phone notification?

Not automatically. Tagged Team Broadcast pop-ups and phone-notification campaigns are independent channels with their own audience, approval, and consent requirements.

Account & privacy

Why does my card's contact visibility differ from Account Info?

The selected card's Make E-mail public and Make phone public controls override the general Account Info preference. Review them separately and republish to change the live card.

Where do visitors find my published contact and social links?

Check the branded header's AccessInfo dropdown. Published email, phone, social profiles, and community links live there rather than being repeated throughout the body.

Does changing my contact email change my sign-in email?

No. Account Info contact details and your Email + Password sign-in identity are separate settings. Editing a contact email does not transfer account ownership. Return with the same sign-in email to find your existing work.

What happens when a visitor saves my contact?

The device/browser may download or open a contact file containing published contact methods. It is not a guarantee the contact was saved in the address book. Review the file or contact prompt and complete the device's action.

Does a lead submission give me newsletter permission?

No. A bounded request or first-name submission is not blanket marketing consent. Use the appropriate channel-specific opt-in and respect unsubscribe preferences and applicable rules.

How do I turn phone notifications on or off?

Use the available in-app opt-in and your browser/device's site-permission settings. If you previously blocked permission, change it in the browser. To stop, use available unsubscribe controls or revoke the site permission on each relevant device.

Why did I not receive an alert after allowing notifications?

Permission enables a channel; it does not mean every notice produces a device alert. Check the intended channel, subscription, device/browser permissions, and device notification settings.

Does hiding my public phone delete it from my account?

No. Visibility and deletion are different. Turn off the relevant card's public setting and republish to hide it there. Previously copied or externally cached information is outside that setting's control.

Do Help Center checklists sync with my account?

No. They are learning aids stored on the current browser when local storage is available. They do not publish cards, complete real reminders, change team records, or sync across accounts and devices.
