# Try Functions in 60 seconds

In this guide, we will use the [Integry Marketplace](/embedded-ui/embed-integry-apps-marketplace.md) and the [Integry Functions API](/apis-and-sdks/api-reference.md) to connect an app and call a function of that app.

Before you proceed, please [sign up](https://app.integry.io/accounts/register/v3/signup/?product=functions) for a free trial (if you haven't).

### Connect an app (as a user)

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to **Apps** and click the **Access as a User** button in the Integry app.

You are accessing the marketplace as a user of your app. Later, once your users have connected apps (and setup integrations), you can impersonate them here if you need to debug and/or fix.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Slack** and connect your account.

You can also connect a different app if you don't use Slack.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Copy the function call cURL

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to **Functions**. 
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Search for **Post Message** on **Slack**.

If you chose a different app, pick any function you're familiar with.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the copy button (to copy the cURL).

This will include your [authentication](/apis-and-sdks/api-reference.md#authentication) variables.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Call the function from a tool like Postman

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
[Setup Postman](https://learning.postman.com/docs/getting-started/first-steps/get-postman/) (if you haven't) and select **+** in the workbench to open a new [tab](https://learning.postman.com/docs/getting-started/basics/navigating-postman/#tabs).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Paste the cURL in the URL field. It should automatically fill in the URL, Headers and Body.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Send**. You will see the response from Integry in the pane below.

```json
{
    "error": "Could not call the function due to invalid input. Please see `error_details` for further information.",
    "error_details": {
        "channel": "This parameter is required and must not be null or empty",
        "text": "This parameter is required and must not be null or empty"
    }
}
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
To fix that, toggle to the request **Body** tab, click Beautify to make it easy to read, fill in the `channel` and `text` parameters, and click **Send** again.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Voila! If the response from Integry looks like the sample below, open Slack to see the message you just posted by calling an Integry Function. You can also [see the call you just made](/functions/viewing-function-calls.md) in the Function Calls tab in the Integry app.

```json

                            "elements": [
                                {
                                    "type": "text",
                                    "text": "Hello from Postman!"
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}
```

### Next steps

Try fetching data using a function like `pipedrive-get-all-persons` . It supports paginated calls so the result will include a `next_page` cursor that you will include in the arguments in the next call.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.integry.ai/functions/try-functions-in-60-seconds.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
