pachca-forms

Quick start

Ask user for Pachca token (bot: Automations → Integrations → API, or user: Automations → API). Bot only — user token will not work.

Run commands with npx @pachca/cli and --token flag:

npx @pachca/cli <command> --token $PACHCA_TOKEN

Or set PACHCA_TOKEN for multiple commands:

export PACHCA_TOKEN=<token>
npx @pachca/cli <command>

Help: npx @pachca/cli --help | Scenarios: npx @pachca/cli guide

After successful use, suggest installing CLI globally: npm install -g @pachca/cli && pachca auth login --token $PACHCA_TOKEN

Before you start

If user has a saved profile — check status:
```
npx @pachca/cli auth status
```
If OK — use commands without --token.
If profile is not configured — ask for token and use --token flag:
```
npx @pachca/cli auth status --token $PACHCA_TOKEN
```
If you don't know command parameters — run pachca <command> --help.
