Example Use Cases​

A common example of a Blueprint is the sale of heat pumps, PV systems, or electricity and gas tariffs.

Here is how it works in practice: A customer applies through a predefined interactive form on your website. The request is captured in epilot, creating a lead for your team. Agents are notified immediately, and automated workflows (e.g., emails, task assignments) ensure the case is processed smoothly.

Why Blueprints help you set up Use Cases faster​

Setting up epilot from scratch requires configuring multiple resources. For example:

  • Customer entry points (Journeys) on your website
  • Automations, such as emails or notifications
  • Workflows to define the process steps
  • Products with all relevant details
  • Entity schemas and templates to structure data; and many more

Configuring all these resources individually can be time-consuming. Since epilot already knows what good configurations look like, we provide predefined best practice setups as Blueprints.

A Blueprint is essentially a ready-to-use epilot configuration that combines these resources into one package. Each Blueprint is carefully orchestrated so that all components work seamlessly together.

Benefits of Blueprints​

  • Faster time-to-market: introduce new products and use cases quickly without complex setup.
  • Reduced effort: eliminate manual configuration by using pre-built best practices.

Quality and expansion​

  • All Blueprints are built, verified, and tested by epilot, ensuring they meet industry standards and best practices.

  • The epilot Marketplace is continuously updated with new Blueprints and partner integrations.

Licensing & availability​

Blueprints use features that require a Professional or Enterprise license.

If you are using a Business or Starter license, please contact your sales representative for further guidance.

Installation and sandbox​

epilot Marketplace Blueprints can be installed only in a sandbox environment.

A sandbox is a safe testing space that allows you to validate configurations without affecting your production environment. Once the Blueprint has been installed and tested successfully, it can be synchronized into your production organization.

For step-by-step instructions, see the Installation documentation.

Sandboxes​

Blueprints are installed by default in a sandbox -- a separate epilot organization for safe testing. Once validated, configurations are promoted to production.

For full details on setup and organization switching, see Sandboxes.

Technical Note

Blueprints are implemented using the official epilot Terraform SDK, available on Terraform Registry. A blueprint file is a zip archive containing Terraform configurations that are imported through epilot APIs.
