Quickstart: Your 1st workflow in 5 mins

Welcome! Let’s get you from idea → automation right away.

It’s the rare moment of delight when your mom asks how your crypto app works, and you can literally show her a flow that runs itself, no tutorials needed.

The satisfaction of seeing something complex, feel simple.


Make sure your setup is complete before you start creating workflows.

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.


🎉 Congrats! You've just built and run your first workflow successfully.
