# Setting Up the Rebrandly CLI for DeepVista Task Delegation

> Generate custom short links through DeepVista workflows using the Rebrandly CLI on a connected machine, while keeping your API key out of regular chat history.

## Overview

Integrating the **Rebrandly CLI** with DeepVista lets your workflows create, customize, and manage branded short URLs (e.g. `link.yourdomain.com/xyz`) directly from prompts.

Your Rebrandly API key is given to DeepVista once, through a **sensitive message** in chat, a message DeepVista doesn't save to chat history. From there, the key is only ever used by your connected machine to run Rebrandly CLI commands; it's never handled as regular chat text or stored in a normal message.

## Prerequisites

<Note>
  Deep Workflows need a connected machine before you can run them. Complete these three setup steps first, in order:

With your machine connected and `deepvista tasks run` polling, you'll also need a [Rebrandly](https://www.rebrandly.com) account with an active workspace API key.

## Step-by-step guide

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your Rebrandly settings">
    In Rebrandly, click your account menu and select **Settings**.

  <Step title="Go to API Keys">
    Under **Connections & Data**, select **API Keys**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy your API key">
    Click the **Copy** button next to your key.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Give the key to DeepVista as a sensitive message">
    Back in DeepVista chat, paste the key using the **sensitive message** toggle (the crossed-out eye icon next to send). Messages sent this way are delivered to your connected machine but are not saved to chat history.

    </Frame>

    <Tip>
      This is the recommended way to hand off any credential to DeepVista. It's simpler than manually creating a local config file, and the key still never appears in your regular chat history.
    </Tip>

    Done, you can now rebrand any link in a DeepVista workflow just by chatting.
