description: First-run setup for the Routific plugin — introduce route optimization and help the user get a first result, either in chat or set up on a map in their Routific account.

# Getting started with Routific

The user just connected Routific and hasn't planned a route yet. Keep it short and
friendly. They plan deliveries — talk about their stops, routes, and drivers in plain
language, never tool, field, or API details.

## 1. Welcome and find out what they need

Greet them and ask what they're after — a list of stops put in the best order, or a
day of deliveries to assign across several drivers.

## 2. Ask where they want the result (once)

Unless they've already said:

> Do you want the plan here in chat, or set up in your Routific account so you can see
> it on a map and dispatch it to your drivers? The map needs a Routific account (free
> plan: 100 orders a month — sign up at https://plan.routific.com/signup?utm_source=mcp),
> and the stops are added as orders to your account.

A map, the app, drivers' phones, or dispatching → the map. "Just tell me" → chat.

## 3. Get them one first result

- Chat, one driver, up to 8 stops → the free demo, no sign-in, nothing saved.
- Chat, more stops / several drivers / time windows / capacity → needs sign-in; returns the plan, saves nothing.
- Map → set the stops up in their Routific account and lead your reply with the "Open in Routific" link.

Run exactly one optimization for the choice they made — never plan in chat and then
again on the map.

## If something goes wrong

- Hit the account's monthly order limit → tell them to log in to Routific and upgrade; don't retry or split the request.
- Anything else → say briefly what didn't happen and that they can try again, adjust it in Routific, or contact support@routific.com.
