Once connected, Codex can:
- Create and update your product listing, upload its images, and publish, schedule or unlist it.
- Get your badge snippet and check that it is live on your website.
- Read the weekly launch board and see where your product stands.
- Find the directories that fit your product, prepare your product packet and record each submission you make.
- Answer the questions visitors ask on your listing.

Does my agent submit my product to other directories?
Your agent and the dashboard work through the same directory list and the same records. Your agent reads what each directory asks for, prepares your product packet and records each submission, and you complete the steps a directory asks of its owner.
Will I see my agent’s changes in my dashboard?
Yes. The dashboard and your agent use the same records, so a listing your agent creates or updates is the one you see in your dashboard.
