## 🏁 Getting Started

> For self-hosted version please see [here](https://actionsflow.github.io/docs/self-hosted)

1. **Create a public Github repository by using [this link](https://github.com/actionsflow/actionsflow-workflow-default/generate).**

   A typical Actionsflow repository structure looks like this:

   ```sh
   ├── .github
   │   └── workflows
   │       └── actionsflow.yml
   ├── .gitignore
   ├── README.md
   └── workflows
   │   └── rss.yml
   │   └── webhook.yml
   └── package.json
   ```

1. **Uncomment `.github/workflows/actionsflow.yml` schedule event**

   ```yml
   on:
     schedule:
       - cron: "*/15 * * * *"
   ```

   > Note: To prevent abuse, by default, the schedule is commented, please modify the schedule time according to your own needs, the default is once every 15 minutes. Learn more about schedule event, please see [here](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#schedule)

1. **Create your [workflow files](https://actionsflow.github.io/docs/workflow/) inside the `workflows` directory**

   A typical workflow file `rss.yml` looks like this:

   ```yaml
   on:
     rss:
       url: https://hnrss.org/newest?points=300&count=3
   jobs:
     request:
       name: Make a HTTP Request
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: Make a HTTP Request
           uses: actionsflow/axios@v1
           with:
             url: https://hookb.in/VGPzxoWbdjtE22bwznzE
             method: POST
             body: |
               {
                 "link":"${{ on.rss.outputs.link }}", 
                 "title": "${{ on.rss.outputs.title }}",
                 "content":"<<<${{ on.rss.outputs.contentSnippet }}>>>"
               }
   ```

   For more information about the Actionsflow workflow file, see the
   [Actionsflow workflow reference](https://actionsflow.github.io/docs/workflow/).

   You can find examples and inspiration on the [Trigger List](https://actionsflow.github.io/docs/triggers/) and on [Awesome Actionsflow Workflows](https://github.com/actionsflow/awesome-actionsflow).

1. **Commit and push your updates to Github**

Pushing to Github makes Actionsflow run the workflows you defined. You can view logs at your repository's actions tab on [Github](https://github.com).

For more information about getting up and running, see [Getting Started](https://actionsflow.github.io/docs/getting-started/).
