App-Specific Admin Workflows

Every Instamobile admin panel includes the shared dashboard foundation. App families then add operational workflows that match the Firebase data and user flows of the React Native app.

Commerce, Food Delivery, And Single Vendor​

Applies to:

  • e-commerce apps;
  • food delivery apps;
  • single vendor or restaurant apps.

Typical admin work:

AreaWorkflow
CatalogCreate categories, products, menus, restaurant profiles, images, and product metadata.
OrdersReview order status, update fulfillment state, cancel or complete orders where supported.
DriversReview delivery readiness and update driver availability in delivery apps.
PaymentsCheck payment method readiness, cash collection signals, and completed order totals.
CampaignsSend email or push campaigns to users, vendors, or drivers when configured.
SupportSearch users, review account state, and resolve account issues.

Before production, place at least one order from the mobile app and move it through the expected admin workflow.

Appointments​

Applies to appointment booking apps.

Typical admin work:

  • create service categories;
  • create providers or professional profiles;
  • add service pricing and descriptions;
  • review booking requests;
  • confirm, complete, cancel, or review booking states;
  • inspect provider readiness;
  • review ratings and feedback.

Before production, create one full booking path: user, provider, category, service data, booking request, status update, and mobile confirmation.

Taxi​

Applies to rider and driver taxi apps.

Typical admin work:

  • configure car categories and pricing rules;
  • review driver onboarding and vehicle data;
  • inspect trip status and dispatch diagnostics;
  • set driver availability when needed;
  • update safe trip lifecycle states;
  • clear stuck rider or driver state when a terminal cleanup is required;
  • review payment method and payout signals.

The mobile backend owns live dispatch behavior. Use the admin panel for diagnostics, safe status updates, driver readiness, and support operations.

Listings, Real Estate, And Store Locator​

Applies to real estate, store locator, and universal listing apps.

Typical admin work:

  • create categories and filters;
  • add listings with images and map coordinates;
  • verify listing owner or author assignment;
  • approve, hide, feature, promote, or unpromote listings where configured;
  • review listing quality and reviews;
  • export listing data for operational review.

Before production, confirm that every visible listing has an image, location, category, title, owner, and detail content.

Social Network, Instagram, And TikTok​

Applies to feed-based and creator apps.

Typical admin work:

  • review reports;
  • inspect posts, stories, comments, and notifications;
  • hide, show, approve, feature, or delete content where configured;
  • review creator health and content quality;
  • manage music or song records in TikTok-style apps;
  • use Audit Log for moderation traceability.

Before production, create content and reports from the mobile app, resolve them from the admin panel, and confirm the app reflects moderation state.

Dating​

Applies to dating apps.

Typical admin work:

  • review reports and blocked pairs;
  • inspect profile quality and discovery readiness;
  • hide or show profiles where configured;
  • verify or unverify profiles where configured;
  • review swipes, matches, recommendations, and subscriptions;
  • reset swipe counts for support or safety cases when available.

Before production, create multiple complete test profiles with photos, gender preferences, location data, and at least one report flow.

Chat​

Applies to standard chat apps.

Typical admin work:

  • inspect conversations and sampled messages;
  • mark conversations reviewed;
  • escalate or clear escalation;
  • mark support escalation or resolution;
  • review users and notification readiness.

Before production, create at least one conversation from the mobile app and verify that the admin panel can inspect the expected channel and message data.

GPT Chat​

Applies to ChatGPT-style apps.

Typical admin work:

  • inspect conversations with the assistant user;
  • review assistant message samples;
  • monitor usage signals where available;
  • mark support escalation or resolution;
  • review user accounts and support context.

OpenAI secrets belong in backend configuration, not in React Native source code or public admin panel environment variables.

Video Chat​

Applies to video chat apps.

Typical admin work:

  • review conversations;
  • inspect avCalls;
  • inspect call status collection groups;
  • inspect connection data collection groups;
  • identify active, missed, failed, or stale call records;
  • use support workflows for affected users.

Call signaling data is usually read-only in the dashboard. Add cleanup actions only when your backend defines a safe server-side cleanup contract.
