Getting Started with GU-APE
Design your first system integration in under 10 minutes.
Initialize Your Profile
When you first open GU-APE, you'll be prompted to set up a profile. Enter your display name and choose a theme preference (light or dark). This information is stored in a secure cookie.
Explore the Interface
The GU-APE workspace has three main areas: the Node Library (left sidebar), the Canvas (center), and the Define Panel (right sidebar). Spend a moment familiarizing yourself with each.
Create Your First Design
Click 'New Design' to start fresh. Give your design a meaningful name like 'My First Integration'. Your designs auto-save to cookies as you work.
Add Nodes to Canvas
Browse the Node Library and drag nodes onto your canvas. Start with a Trigger (like Webhook) and add Action nodes (like Email or HTTP Request). Click any node to configure it.
Connect and Configure
Draw connections between node ports by clicking and dragging. Click a node to open the Define Panel where you can set parameters, add conditions, and mock data schemas.
Validate and Export
Run 'Check System' to validate your architecture for common issues. When ready, export to n8n JSON or deploy directly to your n8n instance.
