# Getting started

> Start with the current MantrixFlow app flow: create PostgreSQL connections, create a pipeline shell, configure the builder, and run manually.

The current app flow is connection-first and builder-driven.

You create reusable PostgreSQL connections, create a lightweight pipeline shell, then finish the operational configuration in the canvas builder.

## Current app flow

1. Create a PostgreSQL source connection.
2. Create a PostgreSQL destination connection.
3. Create a pipeline shell from **Data Pipelines** with a name and source connection.
4. Open the builder.
5. Use the **Source** node to test the source, discover tables, include source streams, and preview rows.
6. Use the **Destination** node to choose the destination connection, enter final delivery tables as `schema.table`, add optional rename/cast rules, write SQL models, validate, preview, and save.
7. Run the destination manually.
8. Review run status and run history.
9. Switch the destination to Incremental sync before enabling a schedule.

## Before you build

Prepare the destination table yourself before running the pipeline. MantrixFlow validates that the table exists and that model output columns match the destination columns; it does not create destination tables during delivery.

For the fastest first run, start with one source table and one destination table.
