Getting Started

Your credentials

Your admin will have provided you with three things (or you received them when you signed up):

  • Tenant ID — identifies your organization (e.g. ten_abc123)
  • API Key — authenticates your requests (e.g. dsk_live_...)
  • Private Key — a base64-encoded key used for encryption

Keep your private key safe. It cannot be recovered — if lost, your data is permanently inaccessible.

1. Sign in

Go to the login page and enter your tenant ID, API key, and private key.

Your private key is used locally in your browser to derive an encryption key. It is never sent to the server — the browser handles the cryptographic handshake automatically.

2. Add your secrets

Before creating workflows, store the API keys for the services your workflows will call.

Go to Settings → Secrets and click + Add secret. For example:

Name Value
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY sk_test_...
SENDGRID_API_KEY SG.....

Secret values are encrypted and can never be viewed again after saving. They’re available in your workflows as {{ secrets.NAME }}.

3. Create a workflow

Go to Workflows and click + New workflow.

You have three ways to build a workflow:

  • Visual editor — add steps, configure requests, set dependencies
  • Source view — paste or edit JSON/YAML directly
  • AI generator — describe what you want in plain English

Here’s a simple example you can paste in the Source view:

{
  "name": "hello-world",
  "version": 1,
  "triggers": [{"type": "http"}],
  "steps": {
    "greet": {
      "request": {
        "method": "POST",
        "url": "https://httpbin.org/post",
        "body": {"message": "Hello from Dispatched!"}
      }
    }
  }
}

Click Apply, then Save.

4. Run it

Open your workflow and click the Run button. You’ll be taken to the run detail page where you can watch the steps execute in real time.

You can also trigger workflows via the API — see the API Reference.

5. Monitor

The Dashboard shows active runs, recent completions, and failures at a glance. Click any run to see its step DAG, event stream, and output data.
