Accessing the Workshop Template

To get started with CarbonToolbelt, we recommend spending some time familiarizing yourself with the functionality. To do this, we've created the Toolbelt Workshop Template, which has mini-experiments set up so you can experience how the tools are intended to function first-hand.

To access this template, follow the process below:

  1. Navigate to the template center

  2. Search "CarbonToolbelt Workshop"

  3. Add it to your workspace

  4. Activate the pre-installed integrations

  5. And you're ready to go!

(If you ever want to reset the template, just delete the board and re-add it via the process above!)

Setting up the Integrations

Below we'll guide you through how to use the different types of integrations. Each example will be shown inside of the CarbonToolbelt Workshop Template for you to try and test yourself! For a comprehensive list of all integrations, review the CarbonToolbelt Documentation.

**If you are using the Workshop Template you will need to active each integration before testing or the integrations will not run / work.
