Developers

Build operational software—not just applications

  • AI-first platform for operational WebApps, workflows, and autonomous agents.
  • Connect business systems.
  • Coordinate people and AI.
  • Build secure operational software on one controlled account.

Build on the operational layer that runs work between your systems, people, and AI—not another app beside your stack.

Quickstart

Your first workflow in 5 minutes

Sandbox, scoped key, one workflow, one execute call—no sales call required.

Picture the path before you read the full guide: obtain credentials, wire a workflow, connect one system, execute, and inspect the run history.

  1. Sign in at tealfabric.io and provision a sandbox account.
  2. Create a scoped API key—server-side only, one per solution or environment.
  3. Start from the Processflow skeleton or import a workflow template.
  4. Connect one system (or use the built-in test connection).
  5. POST to /api/v1/processes/{name}/execute, then open the run in Operations.

  -H "X-API-Key: $TF_API_KEY" \

Sandbox account and OpenAPI

Sign in, provision a sandbox, discover contracts before you write code.

Automate workflows, call connections, publish WebApps, and extend AI with team playbooks—all on one account with reviewable history. Target the documented contract at /api/docs, not reverse-engineering the UI.

API

REST API and scoped keys

/api/v1/ for workflows, connections, Datapools, WebApps, and logs—API key server-side only.

External schedulers start workflows; step code uses the built-in API client. Keys stay in servers and CI, never in browser JavaScript.

curl — start workflow
curl -X POST https://acme-ops.tealfabric.io/api/v1/processes/vendor_intake/execute \
  -H "X-API-Key: $TF_API_KEY" \

Ship

Build, publish, and operate

AI-assisted portals, WebApp versions, CDN, skills folders—each with its own go-live path.

Scaffold with Cursor or Claude, publish via developer tools and the WebApps API. When nightly sync or partner portals fail, trace execution in the operations console—no separate monitoring stack for typical workloads.

AI

Skills playbooks

Versioned AI playbook folders your team publishes—what agents can read, which connections they may call, and when human approval is required.

Skills are tenant-owned playbooks loaded on demand—not generic automation snippets or shadow agents. Author folders that define context, allowed tools, and human-in-the-loop gates before execute_tenant_integration runs.

Essentials

Patterns, stack, and what you build on

Nightly sync you own

Your scheduler starts a workflow → connections run → Datapool updated → alerts on failure.

Partner portal

WebApp content in CI → publish on Tealfabric → your domain → workflow validates and writes to Datapool.

In-workflow enrichment

TypeScript step calls connections and Datapools via the built-in API client—no middleware server.

Support AI with your playbook

Deploy skills playbooks → Trace AI follows your rules → only platform-allowed tools run.

Contract-first partner API

Validate in the API explorer → implement in your service → scoped staging key → promote after CI checks.
