Overview

This section walks you through setting up Sym + getting your first workflow up and running.

Prerequisites

To use Sym, you'll need:

• Terraform
• Python 3
• A Sym account and org_slug to use during setup

📘

Reach out to us to get an account

The Sym team manages the creation of accounts for Sym implementers. After we set you up, you’ll get a notification email to verify your email address, and you can move on.

If you don't have an account and would like to talk to us, please reach out here.

Once you have an account, here's what you'll be doing:

• Installing the Sym Slack app
• Setting up the symflow CLI
• Following the instructions in the CLI to deploy and test out your first Approval-Only Flow

🚧

You don't actually need to read the rest of this guide

Our Slack App and CLI will guide you through the rest of your setup, including initializing a starter directory with a pre-baked Sym workflow.

Read on if you'd like to learn more about how the Sym platform is set up, and feel free to check out our starter directory code in symopsio/examples/approvals to follow along.

If you'd like, you can clone that example and configure a few variables in terraform.tfvars to get on your way!
