# Quickstart: Build and Run Your First Automation Fast

> Get from zero to a running automation in under ten minutes. Connect an app, describe your workflow, and let Atmet's agent take it from there.

This guide walks you through everything you need to go from a fresh account to a live, running automation. By the end, you'll have connected at least one app, described a workflow to the Atmet agent, and watched it execute automatically. The whole process takes under ten minutes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Request access">
    Atmet is currently in early access. If you don't have an account yet, visit the waitlist page and submit your request.

    <Card title="Join the Atmet Waitlist" icon="list-check" href="https://www.atmetai.com/waitlist">
      Request your early access spot. We'll email you when your account is ready.
    </Card>

    Once you receive your access confirmation email, you're ready to sign in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in to Atmet">
    Open the Atmet app and sign in with your email address.

    <Card title="Sign In to Atmet" icon="arrow-right-to-bracket" href="https://app.atmetai.com/sign-in">
      Access the Atmet app at app.atmetai.com.
    </Card>

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="First-time sign-in">
        Enter your email address and click **Continue**. Atmet sends a one-time passcode (OTP) to your inbox. Enter the code to complete sign-in.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Returning user">
        Enter your email address and password, then click **Sign In**. If you've forgotten your password, use the **Forgot password** link on the sign-in page.
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>

    <Tip>
      Check your spam folder if the OTP email doesn't arrive within a minute. Add `no-reply@atmetai.com` to your contacts to ensure future emails land in your inbox.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your workspace">
    After signing in for the first time, Atmet prompts you to create a workspace. Your workspace is the shared environment where all your integrations, workflows, skills, and team members live.

    1. Enter a **workspace name**, this is typically your company or team name.
    2. Optionally select your **country** to help with locale-aware automations.
    3. Optionally upload a **workspace avatar** to make it easy to identify at a glance.
    4. Click **Create Workspace** to continue.

    <Note>
      You can update your workspace name, avatar, and settings at any time from the **Settings** panel.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your first app">
    Before the agent can automate anything, it needs access to at least one app. Head to the **Integrations** panel to connect your tools.

    1. Click **Integrations** in the left sidebar.
    2. Browse or search the integrations catalog and click the app you want to connect.
    3. Authenticate using one of the supported methods:

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="OAuth (recommended)">
        Click **Connect** and complete the OAuth flow in the pop-up window. Atmet requests only the permissions it needs for the triggers and actions you use. No passwords are stored.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="API key">
        Some apps use API key authentication. Paste your key into the field provided. Your key is stored encrypted and never exposed in logs or the UI.
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>

    Once connected, the app appears as **Active** in your integrations list, and its triggers and actions become available to your agent.

    <Tip>
      Not sure where to start? Connect **Gmail** or **Telegram** first, they're the most commonly used trigger sources and a great way to see Atmet in action quickly.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe your workflow to the agent">
    With an app connected, open the agent chat and tell it what you want to automate, in plain language, the same way you'd explain it to a colleague.

    Click **New Chat** (or the chat icon in the sidebar) to start a conversation with the Atmet agent.

    Here are a few examples of how to describe a workflow:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```text Email-to-action example theme={null}
      When I receive a new email in Gmail with the subject "Invoice", 
      extract the sender name and amount, then add a row to my 
      Google Sheets invoice tracker.
      ```

      ```text Telegram trigger example theme={null}
      When someone sends a message to my Telegram channel containing 
      an email address, generate a welcome image and send it to that address.
      ```

      ```text Scheduled report example theme={null}
      Every Monday at 9am, pull last week's closed deals from HubSpot 
      and post a summary to the #sales Slack channel.
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    <Tip>
      You don't need to be precise or technical. The agent will ask follow-up questions if anything is unclear. Just start with what you want to happen.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Answer the agent's questions">
    After you describe your workflow, the agent analyzes your goal and may ask clarifying questions before it builds the plan. This is normal, it's gathering the details it needs to make the automation accurate.

    Common questions the agent might ask:

    * Which Gmail account or label should it monitor?
    * What should it do if a required field is missing from the trigger data?
    * Should it run for all messages, or only ones matching a specific condition?

    Answer each question in the chat. The agent updates the workflow plan in real time as you respond. You can also proactively add constraints, for example, *"Only run this between 9am and 6pm on weekdays"*, at any point in the conversation.

    <Note>
      If the agent needs access to an app you haven't connected yet, it will prompt you to add the integration before continuing.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and approve the workflow">
    Once the agent has enough information, it presents a complete workflow plan for your review. Read through the steps carefully before approving.

    * **Trigger**, The event that starts the workflow (e.g., new Gmail message).
    * **Steps**, Each action the agent will take, in order.
    * **Conditions**, Any filters or branching logic applied.

    If everything looks right, click **Approve** to save and activate the workflow. If you want to change something, type your feedback in the chat and the agent will revise the plan.

    <Warning>
      Once approved, the workflow runs automatically every time the trigger fires. Make sure the actions listed are exactly what you intend before approving, especially for steps that send emails, post messages, or modify data.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch it run">
    Your workflow is now live. The next time the trigger fires, Atmet executes it automatically, no action required from you.

    To monitor your automation:

    1. Click **Workflows** in the sidebar to see all your active automations.
    2. Click any workflow to open its detail view.
    3. Navigate to the **Runs** tab to see every execution, the steps it took, and its outcome.

    <Tip>
      Trigger your workflow manually for the first time to verify everything works as expected. Most trigger integrations have a **Test trigger** option in the workflow editor.
    </Tip>
  </Step>
</Steps>
