# Quickstart

> Send your first notification in under 10 minutes

Follow this guide to sign up, configure a channel provider, design a template, and dispatch your first notification.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your Account">
    Sign up on the [Notifyflow Dashboard](https://notifyflow-dashboard.vercel.app/auth/signup) to create a tenant profile. Your new profile automatically initializes with a unique public API key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your Resend API Key">
    Navigate to the **Providers** section in the sidebar. Click **Configure** under **Email Delivery**, select **Resend**, and paste your Resend API Key.

    <Note>
      Resend provides free API keys on registration. Ensure you configure a valid `fromEmail` matching your verified domain to send to any recipient address.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Template">
    Navigate to the **Template Manager** in the sidebar. Click **New Template** and create a template with the following details:

    * **Name:** `welcome_onboarding`
    * **Channel:** `EMAIL`
    * **Email Subject:** `Welcome {{ name }} to Acme Corp!`
    * **Message Body:** `Hi {{ name }}, we are thrilled to welcome you to the team. Let us know if you need anything!`
  </Step>

  <Step title="Dispatch via cURL">
    Use the cURL snippet below to trigger a post request, replacing `nf_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx` with your public API key (available in **Settings**):

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -X POST https://notifyflow-api.onrender.com/api/v1/notify \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -H "x-api-key: nf_live_your_api_key_here" \
      -d '{
        "channel": "EMAIL",
        "recipient": "customer@example.com",
        "template": "welcome_onboarding",
        "data": {
          "name": "Sarah Jones"
        }
      }'
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Inspect in the Dashboard">
    Head back to the **Overview** dashboard page. You will see the counter increment, and the notification logs list will display the new row matching your request. Tap the log card to view delivery attempts.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Ingestion Response

A successful submission yields an HTTP `202 Accepted` response acknowledging the pipeline has ingested the request:

```json theme={null}
{
  "notificationId": "notif_01HX8A99B99E7F6B",
  "status": "queued"
}
```
