**Step 2: Launching Portant in Copper**

Now that you had successfully installed the Portant integration on your Copper account. It is time to create your first workflow in Portant:

* Open an opportunity in Copper and you will see the Portant integration on the right hand side, here:

* Click the "Create Workflow" button in the integration and a new tab will open and create the start of a workflow in Portant.
* The next thing to do is connect Portant to Copper (you only have to do this once). To connect, click on the Copper block, here:

* Then click 'Connect Copper to Portant'

* Then authorise Portant to use your account:&#x20;

* After you have completed this step the Copper block will say "Copper is connected"

* After this you can add a document into your workflow by click the plus button here:

* Then select to connect a document or email to the workflow

<figure><img src="https://1896334337-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPksGGRu3iiruaw3YMfz1%2Fuploads%2F2n1RKNKr7wYs9HBH8cz3%2Fpika-1712762858949-1x.png?alt=media&#x26;token=8ce94dd3-2484-4874-ade1-6031623820dc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Then you can add copper fields to the document template. For more details on how to personalise the document, please check out our [document personalisation section](https://docs.portant.co/portant-docs/personalise-documents).

* You can also edit the output document name and add {{tags}} to personalise each output.

* Finally you car customise the name of the workflow by clicking the workflow name (so you can select to run the right one in Copper)

<figure><img src="https://1896334337-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPksGGRu3iiruaw3YMfz1%2Fuploads%2FOM1STOqE9JK7lMHMnnjA%2Fpika-1712762968949-1x.png?alt=media&#x26;token=8932ac21-4173-4479-b7e3-a5aa02de81fe" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 3: Running the Workflow**

* Back in your Copper account, you should see the name of your workflow and a "Start" button next to it. Click the **Start** button to run the workflow.

<figure><img src="https://1896334337-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPksGGRu3iiruaw3YMfz1%2Fuploads%2FCkVEl79CYGMYGrI8W61a%2Fpika-1712772807325-1x.png?alt=media&#x26;token=34370f8c-0ec3-49e8-8afe-5b854544ae0d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

When you "**Start**" the workflow the data from the opportunity (and connected objects) will be used to create a new output document and the document links will be added to the activity feed and the files section.

**Step 4: Viewing the Output**

* On the right side of your screen in Copper, locate the "Files" section. Click the dropdown button to view the attached output.
