Make sure your [setup](https://wiki.decimal.at/technical/setup) is complete before you start creating workflows.
{% endhint %}

### Step 1: Create your First Workflow

1. Log into your Decimal application
2. Click **New Workflow** → give it a name (e.g., *Get the latest ETH price*).
3. You’ll see an empty canvas (like a whiteboard) - this is where your workflow comes alive.

### Step 2: Add a Trigger

* Click **Add Node** → opens the *Editor* panel on the panel
* Under **TRIGGER** section, click and drop the **Trigger** node onto the canvas
* This node marks the *start* of your workflow. 

### Step 3: Add an Action

* Search for **Coingecko** in the right panel.
* Click and drop the **Fetch Token Price** node from the **COINGECKO** section onto the canvas.
* Hover over the node, and click the ⛯ (Settings) icon.
* Select `Free` API plan and enter your API Key: `CG-KYMXxxie947QdgQNQEcoYhJ7` . Click Validate & Continue
* Select `usd` from the VS Currency and `eth` (Ethereum) for Token dropdowns. Leave the **Result Variable Name** as `coingeckoResult`
* Click outside of the modal to save the settings.

### Step 4: Connect the Nodes

* Click on the ⊕ (output) of the **Trigger** node. 
* Then click the activated ▷ (input) of the **Fetch Token Price** node.
* A blue connecting line appears, showing the order of execution.

### Step 5: Run

* Hit the blue **Play** button in the footer.
* Both nodes should show a green badge - indicating successful execution - along with a notification.
* Open the **Logs** tab in the right sidebar to see execution details for each node. Under the **Fetch Token Price** log, the `coingeckoResult.responseData.ethereum.usd` variable will display the latest `ETH` price.
