Zeli FlowForge — Operations guide

Everything you need to use FlowForge: from first signup to inviting your team.

1. Signup & 2FA

  1. Go to /signup and create your account (email + 12+ char password).
  2. Confirm your email by clicking the link you receive (valid 24h).
  3. On first login, configure mandatory 2FA: scan the QR with Google Authenticator / 1Password / Authy.
  4. Save the 10 recovery codes (shown only once) in a password manager. They are needed if you lose access to the TOTP app.
Important: recovery codes remain valid until you use them or regenerate them. Each code is single-use. If you have fewer than 3 left, regenerate the whole set from /account/security.

2. Create a workspace

After 2FA setup, the portal asks you to create the first workspace. A workspace:

  • Has an isolated Docker container (FlowForge runtime) on the sub-domain {slug}.app.automazionezeli.com
  • Contains workflows, credentials, logs — all tenant-isolated
  • Has a plan (Free/Starter/Pro/Team/Enterprise) that determines LLM quota, RAM, disk, workspace member limit

Provisioning takes ~10 seconds (capacity check → docker create → start → healthcheck). You see it live in the onboarding modal.

3. FlowForge editor

Click "Open FlowForge" from the dashboard. The portal issues a short-lived SSO token (5 min, single-use) and POST autosubmit to {slug}.app.azel/sso. The container validates the token and creates a local session.

In the editor you’ll find:

  • Workflow canvas — drag nodes, connect, run live
  • DB Studio — connect Postgres/MySQL/Mongo/Redis/Vector and run queries
  • Credentials vault — secrets for external integrations (AES-256-GCM)
  • Node marketplace — community packs
  • Liara chat — native LLM for workflow generation / debugging

4. Invite the team

From /account/team, owners/admins invite members by email with a role:

RolePermissions
ownerEverything: billing, cancel subscription, delete workspace
adminInvite/remove members, manage workflows, no billing
editorEdit workflows, credentials, run
operatorRun existing workflows, no editing
viewerRead-only: dashboard, run logs

The invitee receives an email with a /accept-invite?token=... link (valid 7 days). After accept, the role is propagated to the FlowForge editor via SSO.

5. Liara LLM & BYOK

FlowForge includes Liara (Qwen3 32B with Zeli fine-tuning) hosted on EU GPUs. Daily quota per plan:

  • Free: 200 calls/day · Starter: 1K · Pro: 5K · Team: 25K · Enterprise: unlimited

Pro+ plans support BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) — use your Anthropic / OpenAI / Google API key. Keys are encrypted AES-256-GCM and used only for your calls.

6. External API & keys

Generate API keys from /account/api-keys to integrate FlowForge with external systems (CI/CD, webhook, server-to-server). Each key has:

  • Scope: read:workflows, write:workflows, execute:workflows, admin:tenant
  • Expiry: 30d / 90d / 1 year / never
  • Revoke: immediate, integrations using that key stop working

The key plaintext is shown only once at creation. Store it in a password manager.

7. Billing & plans

From /account/billing you see current plan, next renewal, payment history. Upgrade/downgrade from /pricing via PayPal Subscriptions:

  • Monthly auto-renew · Yearly discount -17%
  • Cancel anytime — access remains until the end of the current period
  • Failed payment → 3 automatic PayPal retries · then container suspended · warning email to owner
  • 22% VAT applied automatically (IT regime)

For Enterprise (€499+/mo) contact us — DPA, SOC2, ISO27001, on-premise, white-label available.

8. Security & compliance

  • EU hosting — Hetzner Falkenstein, GDPR-native (no extra-EU transfer)
  • 2FA enforced on all accounts
  • 24h session rotation sliding window
  • Immutable audit log with SHA-256 hash chain (automatic tamper detection)
  • Encryption at rest: AES-256-GCM for secrets, TOTP, BYOK keys (envelope with master key)
  • Sentinel WAF in front of LLM and auth (prompt injection, brute force, anomaly detection)
  • Daily backups (client-side encrypted, retention 7d local + 90d B2 remote)
  • GDPR art.17/20: ZIP data export, account deletion with 7d grace

9. FAQ

Can I use FlowForge without an internet connection?

Only on the Enterprise plan with on-premise deploy. On other plans the container runs in our EU datacenter and you access via browser.

Are my workflows used to train the model?

NO. Workflow data stays in your workspace container, never sent to the base model. The Liara LoRA is trained on Zeli internal dataset + open-source.

What happens if I delete the account?

Soft-delete with 7-day grace. Within the window you can cancel via email link. After: hard delete cascade (container, workflows, personal audit log). Statutory audit log (e.g. invoices) preserved anonymized by law.

Are 2FA recovery codes I already downloaded still valid?

YES — recovery codes remain valid until you use them (single-use) or actively regenerate them. If you have fewer than 3 left, regenerate the whole set from /account/security: old ones are invalidated and you get 10 new ones.

Which workflows are not allowed?

Workflows for spam, unauthorized harvesting, DDoS attacks, illegal content. See Terms. Sentinel WAF detects anomalous patterns and blocks them.
