Getting Started
Convotic is a modular revenue platform built for social-first D2C brands. It connects your social messaging channels (Instagram, LINE, Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram) to your CRM and commerce tools, letting you automate conversations, track customers, and drive revenue from a single dashboard.
Core concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Blocks | Integrations with external platforms. Each channel or tool (Instagram, HubSpot, Shopify) is a Block that you connect to your workspace. |
| Workflows | Visual automation flows that trigger on events (new message, keyword, follow) and execute a sequence of actions across your connected Blocks. |
| Workspace | Your team's environment in Convotic. All Blocks, Workflows, contacts, and settings belong to a workspace. |
1. Create your account
Sign up at app.convotic.com using Google OAuth. Once authenticated, you will be prompted to create your first workspace.
2. Connect your first Block
- Navigate to Settings > Blocks in the dashboard.
- Choose a messaging channel (e.g., Instagram, LINE).
- Follow the OAuth flow to authorize Convotic to access your account.
- Once connected, the Block status will show Active.
Your incoming DMs, comments, and events will begin syncing automatically.
3. Create your first Workflow
- Open the Workflows page and click New Workflow.
- Select a trigger, such as Keyword or New Message.
- Drag nodes onto the canvas to define your automation logic (send a reply, tag a contact, update your CRM).
- Click Publish to activate the workflow.
4. Set up API access
If you plan to interact with Convotic programmatically, generate an API key from Settings > API Keys.
# Store your API key as an environment variable
export CONVOTIC_API_KEY="cvtk_live_your_api_key_here"
# Verify your credentials
curl -s https://api.convotic.com/v1/workspace \
-H "X-API-Key: $CONVOTIC_API_KEY" | jq .
const CONVOTIC_API_KEY = process.env.CONVOTIC_API_KEY;
const res = await fetch("https://api.convotic.com/v1/workspace", {
headers: { "X-API-Key": CONVOTIC_API_KEY },
});
const workspace = await res.json();
console.log(workspace);
tip
Keep your API key secret. Never commit it to version control. Use environment variables or a secrets manager in production.
