1. Import workflow

First, we need to import our workflow that will sync the user with Weavy and give us an access token.

  • Download WeavyRetoolWorkflow.JSON
  • Go to Workflows in Retool
  • Click Create New and select From JSON
  • All settings are already included, so all you have to do is Deploy (up to the right).
    • If the Deploy button is disabled, some of the settings might not have loaded correctly - simply refresh, and it should be working.
    • Any message about no triggers configured can be ignored.

2. Import app

Next, we need to import the app.

  • Download WeavyRetoolApp.JSON
  • Go to Apps in Retool
  • Click Create  and select From JSON/ZIP, keep the name of the app and click Create app
  • Click the code icon in the left panel, and select getAccessToken
  • Set Workflow to WeavyRetoolWorkflow
  • Set Workflow parameters to JSON with the following values;
    • avatar: {{ current_user.profilePhotoUrl }}
    • email: {{ current_user.email }}
    • fullname: {{ current_user.fullName }}
    • uid: {{ current_user.sid }}
  • Click Save & Run
  • The building blocks should now refresh and start working

3. Take it for a test run

A Retool app should now be up and running with three building blocks rendered: chat, feeds, and files. Invite other users to the app to try the real-time chat and feeds, etc.
