What to expect as a design partner
TL;DR: As a Ballet design partner, you get a live workflow review with the Ballet team, locked-in design-partner pricing before general availability, and automations built as reviewable code your engineering team can approve. You help shape the product while automating a real integration from your backlog.
Who this is for
Teams accepted into Ballet's early access program after requesting access at ballet.dev/signup.
What does the Ballet team provide?
Design partners receive:
- A workflow review — the team scopes one integration with you, live.
- Design-partner pricing — locked in before general availability.
- Reviewable code — playbook steps run in a sandbox; no black-box automations.
What does Ballet expect from you?
- Bring a real workflow from your integration backlog — not a toy example.
- Assign at least one Builder who will author playbooks and one stakeholder who understands the business process.
- Share feedback on what works and what is missing during early access.
What is the typical timeline?
- Request access — submit the form at ballet.dev/signup.
- Workflow review — live session with the Ballet team to scope your first automation.
- Workspace setup — you receive access and complete in-product onboarding.
- First playbook — build and run your scoped workflow with Ask Ballet.
- Iterate — expand connectors, triggers, and team access as the workflow matures.
How is this different from general availability?
During early access, onboarding is hands-on. The Ballet team works with you directly. Features, pricing, and UI may change as the product evolves. Your feedback directly influences what ships.
