title: 'H3'
description: "Get started with Novu Framework in an H3 application by scaffolding a bridge, defining a workflow, and triggering your first notification."
---


In this guide, we will add a Novu [Bridge Endpoint](/framework/endpoint) to a H3 application and send our first test workflow.

<Steps>
    <Step>
         ## Set up your local environment

Start local development by running:

```bash
npx novu dev
```

This opens the Novu Dashboard in **Local mode** - a local environment connected to your running app through a tunnel - where you can preview and test the workflows running on your machine. See [Local development](/framework/studio) for details.

    </Step>
   <Step>
         ## Install packages

Install the Novu Framework package:

```bash
npm install @novu/framework
```

This package provides all the necessary tools to build and manage your notification workflows.

    </Step>
   <Step>
         ## Add a Novu API Endpoint
        ```typescript app/server/api/novu.ts

        const app = createApp();

        app.use("/api/novu", eventHandler(serve({ workflows: [testWorkflow] }) ));

        createServer(toNodeListener(app)).listen(4000);
        ```
    </Step>
    <Step>
        ## Configure your secret key

Add your Novu secret key to your environment variables:

```bash .env
NOVU_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key
```

    </Step>
    <Step>
        ## Create your workflow definition
        Add a `novu` folder in your app folder as such ```novu/workflows.ts``` that will contain your workflow definitions.

```ts app/novu/workflows.ts
import { workflow } from '@novu/framework';

export const testWorkflow = workflow('test-workflow', async ({ step }) => {
  await step.email('test-email', async () => {
    return {
      subject: 'Test Email',
      body: 'This is a test email from Novu Framework!',
    };
  });
});
```

    </Step>
    <Step>
        ## Start your application
        Start your H3 server with the Novu Endpoint configured.

        If your H3 application is running on a port other than `4000`, restart `npx novu dev` with that port:

        ```tsx
        npx novu@latest dev --port <YOUR_H3_APPLICATION_PORT>
        ```
    </Step>
    <Step>
        ## Test your endpoint

Test your workflow by triggering it from the Local environment or using the Novu API:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.novu.co/v1/events/trigger \
  -H 'Authorization: ApiKey YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "name": "my-workflow",
    "to": "subscriber-id",
    "payload": {}
  }'
```

You should see the notification being processed in the Local environment.

    </Step>
    <Step>
        ## Deploy your application

Deploy your application to your preferred hosting provider. Make sure the `/api/novu` endpoint is accessible from the internet.

For local development and testing, you can use tools like ngrok to expose your local server to the internet.

    </Step>

</Steps>

Now that you have your first workflow running, you can:

- Learn about [Workflow Controls](/framework/controls) to expose no-code editing capabilities
- Explore different [Channel Steps](/framework/email-channel) like Email, SMS, Push, and more
- Set up [Action Steps](/framework/digest) like Delay and Digest
- Check out our [React Email integration](/framework/content/react-email) for building beautiful email templates
