Tutorials

Tutorials are step-by-step lessons that guide you through complete, real-world scenarios. Each one starts from scratch and ends with a working result. Start here if you’re new to Vesbite.

Getting Started

Your First Workflow

~15 minutes – Build a complete automation from device to cloud.

Walk through the entire Vesbite workflow: install firmware on an Impinj R700, adopt it into your account, then build a Flow that listens for RFID tag reads, extracts the EPC code, and creates a record in Airtable. By the end, you’ll understand devices, the Flow builder, expressions, and integrations.

What you’ll learn:

Installing Vesbite firmware on an Impinj R700
Adopting a device and exploring its capabilities (actions, events, settings)
Creating a Flow with a Device Event trigger
Using Vex expressions to extract and transform event data
Adding an Airtable integration to store tag reads
Publishing, testing, and monitoring Flow executions

Prerequisites: A Vesbite account, an Impinj R700 reader, and an Airtable account

Connecting Your First Integration

~10 minutes – Connect external services and use them in your Flows.

Learn how to authenticate with third-party services and use them as action nodes in the Flow builder. This tutorial covers OAuth integrations (Airtable), API key integrations (SendGrid), and database connections (PostgreSQL), showing you how to add connections, configure dynamic fields, and map data with expressions.

What you’ll learn:

Adding an integration action node to the Flow canvas
Creating a new connection via OAuth popup or API key entry
Selecting resources from dynamic dropdowns (bases, tables, columns)
Mapping fields using Vex expressions like {{ variables.eventData[0].epc }}
Testing actions before publishing
Setting up SendGrid email and PostgreSQL database connections

Prerequisites: A Vesbite account and credentials for the service you want to connect
