What You Will Finish With

fal appears READY and can execute supported image, video, audio, and lip-sync jobs using your subscription.

1
Create the provider account
Sign up at fal.ai, configure billing if required by the models you plan to use, and open its API key settings.
2
Create a dedicated API key
Use a key dedicated to Postward so you can rotate or revoke it without affecting unrelated applications.
3
Start provider setup
Open Creative Tools in Postward or ask your agent to call start_provider_setup with provider fal.
4
Enter the key in the browser
Use the one-time setup URL. Do not paste the key into the agent conversation; Postward encrypts it after validation.
5
Verify readiness
Call provider_status until fal reports READY, then call creative_capabilities to see the live capabilities, models, credits, and limits for your workspace.
