Understand what Gradial is and the problem it solves
Gradial is the secure enterprise marketing harness that turns a fragmented lifecycle into governed execution. This page covers the content supply chain problem, the systems-of-record vs. harness framing, what Gradial’s agents actually do, and the architectural decisions that differentiate it.What Is Gradial? →

Understand the enterprise marketing harness concept behind it
If “harness” is a new term, this page explains what an enterprise marketing harness is made of — tools, integrations, context, memory, workspace, and guardrails — how it differs from a point solution or a copilot, why it spans the whole marketing lifecycle rather than a single stage, and how the learning loop makes each campaign better than the last.What is an enterprise marketing harness? →

I’m Setting Up the Platform
You own the technical foundation. Before anyone on your team can use Gradial, you need to connect your systems, configure access, and validate the environment. This path takes you from a freshly provisioned org to production-ready. Estimated time: 1–3 weeks (largely dependent on your IT team’s security review process)1
Understand what you're setting up
Start with how Gradial works — what it connects to, how agents receive and execute work, and what systems are involved — before you touch any credentials.How Gradial Works →
2
Run environment discovery
Before connecting anything, work through Phase 1 of the onboarding checklist. It tells you exactly what your team needs to gather — example tickets, workflow docs, golden page candidates — before technical setup can begin.Onboarding Checklist →
3
Connect your CMS
This is the critical path. Connect Gradial to your primary CMS. Each integration requires specific service accounts and permission configurations — plan for security review time.Also connecting a marketing or email platform? See Marketo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and all integrations.

I’m Using Gradial Daily

Get oriented in the platform
Start by learning how the platform is laid out — where tasks live, how workspaces are organized, and how to navigate between projects.Navigating the Platform →

Take on work that spans more than one page
