Where it lives — and who it affects
Open Settings from your profile menu and stay on the Client settings page. Pick the client with the client picker in the top bar. The banner is the key thing to internalize: everything on this page is shared — it applies to everyone working on that client, across Chat, Workflow, and Agents. Set it well once, and the whole team's output improves.
Not sure where a control lives? The Find a setting… box at the top searches both settings pages; picking a result jumps straight to the card and highlights it.
Standing instructions
The Composer card holds standing instructions Iris follows in every chat, agent run, and workflow for this client — metric names the client uses, tone, targets, report formats. Example: "Always report MER and blended ROAS. Goal: $1.5M/mo revenue. Keep summaries to 3 bullets."
Because these are shared, saving over existing instructions or clearing them asks you to confirm — your edit takes effect for everyone immediately.
Memories
Memories are durable things Iris has learned about the client while working — corrections, preferences, facts, and procedures. Iris writes them itself and injects them into every conversation. Client calls feed it too: each processed call saves its notes as a memory stamped with the call's name and date, so recent calls inform scans, chats, and reports (see "Call intelligence"). So does the client's own workspace: everything a client user does there — their chat messages, comments on signals, goal-change and integration requests, feedback, data corrections, and notes sent to the team — is distilled into memories labelled Client · …. Iris treats those as the client's own view ("client-stated"), and they are the only memories the client's own chats ever see; everything else on this card stays internal. This card is where humans review that memory:
Edit anything that's wrong or outdated.
Remove anything that shouldn't be there (removal is reversible — use "Show retired" to restore).
Tip: Skim memories after a big account change — a new promo strategy or KPI shift is exactly when an old "fact" can quietly mislead a report.
Calendars, integrations, and client info
Promotional & fiscal calendars — upload the promo calendar and set how the client counts time, so agents frame every period correctly. Full details in "Client calendars."
Integrations — a read-only health view of the client's data sources (ad platforms, analytics, nova) with connection status per platform. Connecting or fixing a client data source happens in nova — this card just tells you where things stand.
Asana boards — the Asana boards Iris can read (and file tasks under) for this client: the mapped Asana team's boards link automatically, and you can pin any board outside that team by pasting its URL. Pinning only works for boards the Iris Asana account can open — the card shows that account's email under the pin box. If a pin fails, open the board in Asana, share it with that email (viewer access is enough), and pin it again.
Client information — company, website, industry, vertical, and tier. Also read-only here; to change client details, head to nova.
Scheduled reports — opt the client in or out of the Monday weekly report and month-end deck. Omega writes each report itself and parks the draft in the Workflow board's Review column for the team to approve — the toggles never task report-building out to people. Untouched toggles default on when the client has a Slack channel configured, off otherwise.
Goals, context, and metric weights
The number-driven half of client setup lives in the Workflow product — open its left rail's Settings group and choose Metrics:
Set a goal per metric — these power on-track reads in reports and the Plan page.
Set each metric's scan weight (Muted → Critical) to tell the always-on scanning where to focus and what matters most when ranking findings.
Add a definition note under any metric — how this client defines it (say, "Revenue = gross revenue minus returns"). It shows on hover across the cockpit and frames how agents talk about that metric.
On the Revenue row, pick the revenue basis — net sales (the default), gross sales, gross sales minus returns or discounts, or Shopify total sales (net plus taxes and shipping). The Metrics settings article covers each control in depth.
Two free-form fields — Goals and Context & scope — go to agents verbatim: what you're driving toward, and the operating realities of what the team does and doesn't own.
Nearby, the Notifications settings page sets the client's default Slack channel, where client-level updates post.
Note: All of this feeds everything downstream — scans rank findings by your weights, chat answers respect your instructions and memories, and reports open with your goals in mind. Ten minutes of setup is the highest-leverage thing you can do on a new account.
