Getting started

This guide walks through the typical path from a specification to a runnable flow.

1. Connect an OpenAPI specification

Section titled “1. Connect an OpenAPI specification”

Start by connecting an OpenAPI document from a repository, URL, or local source supported by the app. Echopoint uses the specification to understand available endpoints, schemas, and authentication options.

Use a specification that is already valid OpenAPI 3.x. If the document has validation errors, fix those first so generated requests are predictable.

2. Review generated requests

Section titled “2. Review generated requests”

After sync, Echopoint turns operations into requests. Review the generated method, path, headers, body shape, and authentication settings before adding a request to a flow.

Generated requests remain tied to their source operation, which makes future spec changes easier to understand.

3. Create a flow

Section titled “3. Create a flow”

Create a flow for the operation you want to run repeatedly. Add requests in the order they should execute, then pass values between steps using variables.

Good first flows are small and explicit. Start with two or three requests, confirm the inputs and outputs, then add branches or loops later.

4. Run and inspect

Section titled “4. Run and inspect”

Run the flow and inspect the execution details. Check each request, response, and variable value before using the flow for a recurring workflow.
