# Activate the New Sesami app and Admin Portal

The new Sesami experience includes access to the [Admin Portal](/admin/sesami-admin-portal.md), where you can manage advanced features and settings to help manage your business.

The Sesami Admin Portal provides access to advanced Sesami features, including:

* [Service](/admin/services.md) settings
* Create more [Resources](/admin/resources.md) and [edit Availability](/booking/availability/resource-availability.md)
* Create [Locations](/admin/locations.md)
* Configure [Notifications](/notifications/notification-emails.md)
* [Apps & Integrations](/apps-integrations/shopify.md)
* & more!

### Step 1: Your store has already been migrated!

### Step 2: Check Your Email

1. The "Sesami Invitation" email was automatically sent to your [store's registered email address](https://admin.shopify.com/settings/general/store-contact-details).
2. Open the email and click **Activate your account**.

### You're All Set!

Once activation is complete, you'll have access to the Admin Portal experience and all advanced Sesami features.

You can return to the Admin Portal at any time directly from the Sesami app.

## Troubleshooting

<details>

<summary>I didn't receive the invitation email</summary>

Check:

1. [Shopify Store Email address](https://admin.shopify.com/settings/general/store-contact-details)
2. Spam/Junk folder
3. Promotions tab
4. Contact Sesami team

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I find my Shopify Store Email?</summary>

[Shopify Admin → Settings → Store Details → Contact Information](https://admin.shopify.com/settings/general/store-contact-details)

</details>

<details>

<summary>I don't see Step 1 (Enable Sesami App Embed)</summary>

Whether this step appears depends on your Shopify theme and whether the Sesami App Embed has already been enabled.

If the App Embed is already enabled, simply continue with the next step.

Merchants on all plans can use the App Embed and remove the legacy ScriptTag integration.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sesami.co/get-started/quickstart/activate-the-new-sesami-app-and-admin-portal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
