Your app’s personal setup guide. Built in.
The moment your app is live, Barfy pops up and walks you through everything — first login, initial config, the workflows that actually matter. Like having a friend who’s set up every app before.
- Knows every app in the catalog — credentials, first steps, gotchas
- Conversational, not a wall of docs — ask anything, get a real answer
- Stays open while you work — no switching to a browser tab with docs
Reading docs for 10 new apps is painful. Barfy eliminates that.
Barfy
Your n8n is live! 🎉 Head to your URL — first visit triggers the setup wizard. Create your owner account, then change the default password immediately.
Done. Now how do I replace my Zapier Stripe → Slack workflow?
Easy. New Workflow → add a Stripe Trigger node (event: customer.created) → connect a Slack node → map the name. ~3 minutes.
