Getting Started

Getting Started

This section will help you get up and running with the Workflows API quickly.

Start here if you are new to Loopfour or if you need a minimal end-to-end path before designing a larger automation. The guides introduce the core setup sequence: create or locate an API key, understand how authentication works, define a small workflow, run it with test input, and inspect the result. That flow is intentionally narrow because it proves the important pieces before you add real integrations, approval paths, or production data.

For a finance team, a good first workflow is usually one that is easy to verify manually. Examples include echoing a payload, transforming a small invoice object, posting a controlled notification, or running a simple approval branch. Once the basic run lifecycle is clear, expand toward your real workflow by adding the trigger, connected systems, validation rules, and exception handling. Keep each step named clearly so developers and finance operators can debug the same run history without translating internal implementation details.

If you are evaluating Loopfour with a team, agree on one owner for credentials, one owner for workflow logic, and one owner for business approval. That keeps setup fast while preserving the controls you will need later.
