# First automation web quickstart

# Tutorial: First automation (web Quickstart)

This walkthrough matches the **Quickstart Integration** area in the [web dashboard](../guide/web-dashboard). You will end with an **Agent ID**, optionally a **workspace API key**, and a path to **n8n**, **Zapier**, or a **custom** HTTP client.

## Prerequisites

* Access to the web dashboard for your deployment, signed in as a workspace **owner** (API key generation requires owner).
* Your deployment’s **Agent API base URL** (for example `https://api.example.com` without a trailing slash). The Quickstart surfaces this from dashboard configuration where available.

## Steps

### 1. Agent

1. Open **Quickstart Integration** in the sidebar.
2. In **Agent**, either select an existing agent or create one and copy its **Agent ID** (UUID).

You will send this value on every automation request as the `X-Agent-Id` header.

### 2. API key (optional but typical)

1. Move to the **API key** step.
2. Optionally generate a **workspace API key** with a label you recognize.

Only **owners** can create keys. The plaintext secret is shown **once**—copy it to a password manager or your tool’s secret store. Use it as the `X-Api-Key` header.

If you skip key creation, you must already have a valid workspace key from elsewhere.

### 3. Integration

1. Choose **n8n**, **Zapier**, or **custom**.
2. Follow the on-screen snippets: they align with [n8n](../integrations/n8n), [Zapier](../integrations/zapier), and the [Agent API](../api-reference/agent) for custom HTTP.

## Verify

Send a test `POST /v1/approvals` with your headers (you may omit `request_id`; the response includes one). Resolve the approval in the dashboard or mobile app, then confirm the result via **callback** or **polling** as described in [How it works](../guide/how-it-works).
