Median exercise time: 04 min 18 sec

The best way to dive in is to start building! Let’s create a simple workflow in 5 short steps.

Authorize a messaging app

Go to the connections screen, search for your messaging app, click Connect, and follow the popup wizard.

In my example, I will authorize Discord.

Create a simple workflow

Go to the workflows screen, create a new workflow, and you'll see a blank canvas:

1. You will notice that there is a step already on the canvas. This is a manual trigger, which will execute a workflow when you click the big play button.2. Collapse the main menu in the top left for more space by clicking this button:

3. Much better! Now, click Add Apps in the bottom dock, search for your messaging app (I’m using Discord), select it, and choose the Send Message action.

4. Now, configure the Send Message action by double clicking the step app icon and selecting the channel and entering your message. Then, click Submit.

5. Great. Now let's link up our start trigger to our Send Message action, and press play!

Pretty simple, right?
