How to Set Up Your First VitalWall in 5 Minutes
Most real-time dashboards take days to configure. VitalWall takes 5 minutes.
Step 1: Create Your Account (1 minute)
Go to vitalwall.com/register and create your account.
Step 2: Create Your First Wall (1 minute)
Click "Create Wall" and name it based on what you want to track:
- Support Tickets
- Sales Pipeline
- System Health
Choose your visualization:
- GRID: Best for tickets, orders, bookings
- LIST: Activity feeds, recent events
- TICKER: Sales, trades, real-time updates
Step 3: Send Your First Event (1 minute)
curl -X POST https://api.vitalwall.com/track \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key" \ -d '{"wallId":"your-wall-id","data":{"title":"Test Event","message":"Hello VitalWall!"}}'
Step 4: Display Your Wall (1 minute)
Embed on your site:
<iframe src="https://vitalwall.com/embed/your-wall-id" width="100%" height="600px"></iframe>
Or full-screen display:
https://vitalwall.com/display/your-wall-id
Step 5: Connect Real Data (1 minute)
Replace test events with actual data from your systems:
// Support ticket example fetch("https://api.vitalwall.com/track", { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", "X-API-Key": "your-api-key" }, body: JSON.stringify({ wallId: "your-wall-id", data: { title: `Ticket #${ticket.id}`, message: ticket.subject, priority: ticket.priority } }) });
