Do this with verapliJSON for agents

Have ready

  • An Upstash account (same account as upstash/redis).

Steps

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

  1. Create or sign in to an Upstash account

    The person signs up or logs in at the Upstash Console. verapli never creates the account.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit

    Where: https://console.upstash.com/

  2. Copy the QStash token and signing keys

    Open the QStash tab, choose the region, and copy QSTASH_TOKEN from the Quickstart section plus QSTASH_CURRENT_SIGNING_KEY and QSTASH_NEXT_SIGNING_KEY.

    • verapli co-pilot
    • After: Create or sign in to an Upstash account

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

    Where: https://console.upstash.com/qstash
