Getting Started

Welcome to Queue! This Getting Started guide will get you up and running in approximately ten (10) minutes.

Requirements

Before we start, you will need to set up an account on these third-party platforms:

1. GitHub: Source Code Repository. We use this to store the codebase.
2. Trello: Backend Queue Management System. We recommend cloning our template Trello board
3. Netlify: Frontend website hosting

For GitHub, the free tier will be sufficient.

For Trello and Netlify, they offer a very generous free tier that should suffice for most small scale use cases e.g. up to 150 daily tickets. In the event that you have a larger use case, you may be charged for Netlify's Serverless Function Invocation as listed here.

Please ensure that you have created an account on at least 1, 2 and 3 before proceeding.

[Coming Soon] OPTIONAL: Required if you need to send SMS reminders

4. Zapier: Integrating your Trello board with Twilio.
5. Twilio: Platform for sending SMS.

If you require SMS reminders, you will need to pay for Twilio's SMS and to upgrade Zapier based on your usage volume

Summary

At this stage, you should have accounts created and ready for 1, 2 and 3. If you need SMS reminders, you should have created accounts for 4 and 5 as well.

You are now ready for the next step: Configuring Trello
