Wetu Importer - Simplify API Key Configuration - Feature Request

Overview

The current process for setting up the API key for the Wetu Importer can be confusing and overwhelming, especially for new users. The manual process increases the likelihood of user errors, slowing down the onboarding experience.

Problem

• The API key configuration process for the Wetu Importer lacks guidance, leading to confusion for users who are unfamiliar with setting up APIs.
• New users are more likely to make mistakes during setup, which can prevent successful integration and data imports.

Proposed Solution

• Step-by-Step Wizard: Implement an interactive step-by-step wizard that guides users through the API key configuration process.

  • Step 1: Explain what the API key is and why it’s needed.
  • Step 2: Provide a direct link or instructions to obtain the API key from Wetu.
  • Step 3: Create a field to input the API key, with real-time validation to ensure the key format is correct.
  • Step 4: Add a final confirmation screen to verify the API key has been successfully saved.

  Example:

  • Success Message: "API key successfully saved! You're now ready to sync data from Wetu."

Alternatives Considered

• Extensive Documentation: While detailed documentation is helpful, it’s not as intuitive as a wizard. A step-by-step wizard ensures users stay on track and avoid mistakes without needing to reference external guides.

Benefits

• Improved User Experience: Simplifying the setup process will reduce user frustration and speed up the onboarding process.
• Fewer Errors: An interactive wizard with real-time validation will minimize incorrect API key entries and other setup mistakes.
• Reduced Support Requests: With a simpler setup, users are less likely to run into issues, reducing the number of support tickets related to API key configuration.

Additional Context

By creating a more user-friendly API key configuration process, we can streamline the Wetu Importer setup, making it accessible to a broader range of users—especially those with limited technical knowledge.
