Steps

Steps marked “human step” are ones only you can do: verapli never signs in, submits, pays or accepts terms for you.

  1. Sign in or create a Novu account

    Sign in to Novu. If you have no account yet, you create it yourself; verapli does not create accounts.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You sign in

    Where: https://dashboard.novu.co/

  2. Copy the environment's keys

    In the dashboard's developer section open API Keys, choose Development or Production, and copy the secret key (backend only) and the application identifier (client-safe).

    • Guided by hand
    • After: Sign in or create a Novu account

    verapli captures NOVU_SECRET_KEY here by plain code: encrypted in your browser, never shown to AI.

    If something goes wrong (1)
    • Inbox shows no notifications: Make sure the application identifier comes from the same environment (Development vs Production) the workflows trigger in. [1]

What you end up with

Env varSecretFormatWhat it is
NOVU_SECRET_KEYsecretNovu secret key for one environment. The API keys page names no env var; this name is a verapli convention.
NOVU_APPLICATION_IDENTIFIERnot secretNovu application identifier (public) for the Inbox. Env var name is a verapli convention.
