How To Use?

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use this pack. I’d suggest you to
Copy this doc
, and follow the step-by-step guide in your copy of this doc (The experience is much smoother this way.)

Step by Step Guide

Sign-up for a account (It’s free!)
Login to your account
Generate your access token
Under API, Access Token section, enter your password, then click Generate Token.
💡 If you signed up for using Single Sign-On (Like Google), you will need to logout, use their Reset Password link to generate a password. Without this, you won’t be able to get through this step. 🙏
