pachca-forms

Quick start

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

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

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

Or set the PACHCA_TOKEN environment variable:

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

Help: npx @pachca/cli --help | Workflows: 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

1. If the user has a saved profile — check:

   npx @pachca/cli auth status
   

   If OK — run commands without --token.

2. If no profile is configured — ask for a token and use --token:

   npx @pachca/cli auth status --token $PACHCA_TOKEN
   

3. If you don't know the parameters — run pachca <command> --help.
