Industry Setup

Configure Horizon for your industry using the guided Industry Setup flow — select your industry, review the app recommendations, and deploy. Takes about 30 minutes.

Industry Setup is one of Horizon’s guided onboarding flows: you select your industry, Horizon recommends apps for it, and you deploy the ones you want. It takes about 30 minutes.

Before you start

Complete the Quick Start first. You need an account and an organization.

The guided flow

Horizon presents onboarding at /onboarding under the heading Welcome to Horizon, where you pick a flow, among them Quick Start (~15 min), Industry Setup (~30 min) and Full Configuration (1–2 hours). Industry Setup runs in three steps.

  1. Select your industry

    Horizon offers ten industries:

    IndustryCovers
    ConstructionGeneral contracting, subcontracting, and project management
    Professional ServicesConsulting, accounting, and advisory firms
    Financial ServicesBanking, insurance, and investment management
    HealthcareMedical practices, clinics, and health systems
    TechnologySoftware, SaaS, and IT services companies
    ManufacturingProduction, supply chain, and distribution
    Real EstateProperty management, brokerage, and development
    RetailE-commerce, brick-and-mortar, and omnichannel
    Non-ProfitFoundations, NGOs, and charitable organizations
    OtherOther industries not listed above

    Your selection drives the app recommendations in the next step. It is not a permanent classification — you can deploy anything in the Store regardless of what you pick here.

  2. Horizon recommends apps for the industry you chose. Select the ones you want.

    Note

    The Store catalog is per-environment and changes as apps publish, so this page does not list what you will see. Browse Store > Apps for the current catalog.

  3. Deploy

    The last step deploys the apps you selected. You can deploy apps at any time from Store > Apps.

Doing it manually

Everything the flow does is also available from the left rail, which is where you go once onboarding is behind you.

Connect a service

Go to Workspace > Connections and select Connect Service. Horizon shows a service picker — each service connects by OAuth, by API key, or by service-specific credentials, depending on the service.

Setup differs per service, so each has its own page:

A healthy connection shows active. To repair a broken one, disconnect it and connect it again; see the Connections overview.

Deploy apps

Go to Store > Apps and deploy what fits your work. The Store also carries Agents, Skills and Community.

Create a department

Go to Workspace > Departments and select Create Department. A department has a name and a description, and can have an icon and a lead.

Try it

Open a conversation with a deployed agent and ask it something it should be able to answer from a connected service — a report for last quarter, the status of a record, a summary of recent activity. What an agent can actually do depends on the app it came from and the services you have connected.
