Get started with Auto Capture

Record a complete product video of a plumber's morning in Tallyfern, from the sign-in screen: sign in with email, password and the authenticator code, glance at what's overdue on the dashboard, then create an invoice for a customer with a few line items and a discount, preview it as the customer sees it, send it, and finish on the sent invoice. Film the whole journey on camera, page to page, rather than jumping straight to the end.

​

Step 1: Check your workspace has Auto Capture

1. Click your workspace name in the top-left corner and choose Settings.
2. Look for Credentials under Other in the settings sidebar.

​

Step 2: Pick a page and a journey to film

• A public page: your pricing page, a landing page or a docs page. No login is needed, so it’s the quickest way to see Auto Capture work.
• A feature in your product: something a customer does in a few steps, such as creating a project, inviting a teammate or exporting a report.

​

Step 3: Save a login if the page needs a sign-in

1. In Settings → Credentials, click Add credential.
2. Choose Enter manually, or pick a login from 1Password.
3. Give it a Name such as “Demo account”, set Sign-in page to the site where the password is typed, and check Use on covers the site your take starts on.
4. Enter the Email and Password, then click Add credential.

​

Step 4: Ask for your first take

1. Open a video in the editor. A new, empty video is fine.
2. If the sidebar on the right is hidden, press Shift + S to open the Tella Agent.
3. Type your request with the full URL, and press Enter.

1. Connect the app to Tella in Settings → Connections, under AI apps. See Connect an AI assistant to Tella.
2. In a chat with the Tella connector turned on, type your request with the full URL.

Use Tella Auto Capture to make a product demo of https://app.example.com
for people trying us for the first time: create a new project, invite a
teammate to it, and finish on the project page with them listed.
Sign in with the "Demo account" credential. Film the whole journey on
camera, page to page, rather than jumping straight to the end.

• Say who it’s for, such as “first-time visitors” or “admins setting up SSO”.
• Describe the journey and where it ends, not the clicks. Auto Capture finds the buttons itself.
• Ask for the whole journey on camera if viewers need to see how to get there. Otherwise Auto Capture may get to the feature off camera and start filming on the final screen.
• Say what not to do if it matters: “don’t send anything”, “don’t change settings”.
• Leave out a length unless you need one. Without one, the take is as long as the journey.

​

Step 5: Wait for the take, and answer it if it asks

• A sign-in code: you get a link to a Tella page. Type the code your product sent you there, and the take carries on. See Enter a sign-in code for Auto Capture.
• A missing login: you get a link to Settings → Credentials. Add the login (step 3), then ask for the take again.
• A question: such as which of two projects to use. Answer it in the chat, and a new take starts with your answer.

​

Step 6: Review the take and make it a video

• In the editor, the Tella Agent places the take in your video and applies the suggested cuts it agrees with.
• In an AI app, ask it to “put the take in a new Tella video”. The take isn’t in your library until it’s in a video.

Change your first take

​

What to do after your first take

• Make a take for each step of a longer tour, and add them to one video in order.
• Record a video for each of your help articles: see Make videos for your help articles with Auto Capture.
• If your site shows a bot check to Auto Capture, let it through: see Let Auto Capture past your firewall or bot protection.
