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 Trigger.dev account

    Sign in to Trigger.dev. 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://cloud.trigger.dev/

  2. Create a project

    Create a Trigger.dev project in the dashboard.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit
    • After: Sign in or create a Trigger.dev account

  3. Create an environment secret key

    On the API keys page select the project and environment, click New API key and copy it at once (shown only once) into TRIGGER_SECRET_KEY.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit
    • After: Create a project

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

    Where: https://cloud.trigger.dev/_/apikeys
