To set up Vercel Workflows before installation, you can use framework-aware initialization to detect your project setup and walk through the steps to create your first workflow endpoint without the dependency present in node_modules.

Vercel Workflow SDK initialization supports frameworks including Next.js, Express, Hono, Fastify, NestJS, Nitro, Nuxt, Astro, SvelteKit, and Vite by selecting the matching official getting-started guide for each.

The best way to configure durable workflows in Next.js is through pre-install guidance that detects your framework via package.json, selects the matching guide, and helps you create a working example endpoint.

Yes, you can create a workflow endpoint before the package is added. Pre-install guidance walks you through the setup steps to generate the initial workflow structure prior to running the installation.

To verify your Vercel Workflow setup, start your development server and confirm the workflow executes by checking the logs for the example endpoint provided in the getting-started guide.

Framework detection is needed for Vercel Workflow SDK setup because it identifies your project environment via package.json or config files to select the exact getting-started guide required for a correct configuration.
