Instructions for Day 00: Pre-requisites

Sign in to Qodex: Create a Qodex account if you don't have one already, and log into Qodex for the web in your browser.
- To use Qodex in a web browser, download and run the [Qodex agent] on your local machine to overcome cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) limitations. The agent is not the same as the app. On a Mac, you will see an icon for the Qodex agent running in the status menu at the top right of your computer screen. On a Windows machine, the Qodex agent icon displays in the system tray at the bottom right of your computer screen.
- If you don't want to use Qodex in a web browser with the agent, you can instead download and install the Qodex app for Mac, Windows, or Linux.
Create a public workspace: [Create a new Qodex workspace] with visibility set to Public to show your work. Every day, fork a new challenge from [the parent workspace] to your own, and work through the day's challenge. Change the name of your public workspace to deter others from directly copying your answers.
Set an email notification (optional): If you want to receive an email reminder every day for 30 days, follow the instructions in the folder Email notification.

And that's all for today! Stick with your challenges for 30 days, and sharpen your Qodex skills.

POST https://postman-echo.com/post?set_start_day=March 18, 2021

Fork the collection: Fork the collection [Day 00: Pre-requisites] to your own public workspace.
Update the start day: Under the Params tab of this request, enter today's date (formatted like March 18, 2021) as the value for set_start_day to schedule an email notification that begins on the next day, and save your changes.
Schedule a monitor: This is not a typical usage of monitoring. We are relying on Qodex's monitoring capabilities to send us an email reminder every day for 30 days.

*   Hover near the collection name `Day 00: Pre-requisites` to click the ellipses (...) icon and select "Monitor collection".
*   Give your monitor a name like `Daily challenge email notification`. To schedule the monitor to run, under "Run this monitor" be sure that `Week Timer` is selected in the first dropdown, then choose `Every day` in the second dropdown. In the third dropdown, choose a designated time that you prefer.
*   Check the option `Receive email notifications for run failures and errors`, and then click **Create**.

You will receive an email notification every day that a test is failing (as expected) for 30 days. You can pause or edit the settings for this monitor under **Monitors** in the sidebar.
