Interacting with Intento Portal

Intento Portal is a powerful dApp designed for developers and integrators. It enables advanced workflows for setting, viewing, and updating flows using conditions, comparisons, and feedback loops. It supports complex blockchain interactions and cross-chain execution logic.

Key Features of Intento Portal​

  • Conditional Automated Token Transfers
    Define recurring token transfers with custom conditions to multiple recipients. Useful for DAOs, payroll, and streaming payments.

  • Advanced On-Chain Time-Based Logic
    Build flows with feedback loops, comparisons, and time intervals that react to real-time on-chain data.

  • Cross-Chain Interoperability
    Execute workflows across multiple Cosmos chains using IBC and ICA (Interchain Accounts).

Benefits​

  • Efficiency and Precision
    Orchestrate repetitive blockchain tasks with logic-based triggers.

  • Composable Investment Strategies
    Reinvest, stream, or redirect rewards based on intelligent logic.

  • Dynamic Workflow Management
    Build composable on-chain workflows that adapt based on conditions, feedback, and state.

Build Flows​

1. Choose Chain and Execution Account​

Go to the Flow Builder. First, choose the target chain for execution. Available hosted accounts will be listed — these are ICA addresses hosted by Intento which subsidizes fees.

2. Build Messages​

Add messages that define what you want to execute. Several examples are available for supported chains. For CosmWasm chains like Osmosis, you’ll find both contract interaction templates and DEX-related messages. For DEXes like Elys, we have several supported message types like swapping and claiming rewards.

3. Configure Execution Settings​

Decide how execution should behave:

  • Retry until success
  • Stop after an error
  • Enable fallback wallet (fees can be taken from your main wallet if the flow account runs out)

4. Add Conditions & Feedback Logic - Optional​

Use response outputs to feed into future steps or define comparisons. Execution will only happen if all conditions return true.

Use these tools to create feedback loops, like:

  • Re-checking balances
  • Waiting for specific responses
  • Responding to partial state changes

You can find flow examples and reusable condition snippets in the dashboard or in the integration hub repository

5. Final Flow Settings​

When you're ready, hit Build Flow. In the dialog:

  • Set start time (optional): when the first run begins
  • Set interval: how often it should run
  • Set end time: when the flow should end. You can use the calendar to select a date and time or the quick selector to select a duration.

Unselecting the start time means the first interval (e.g., 1 hour) will be used as the initial delay.

You’ll also configure fee settings:

  • Deduct from wallet (requires fallback wallet)
  • Attach fee account to the flow
    (Ensure it holds enough $INTO. Unused fees are refunded after the final execution.)

The Overview section summarizes:

  • Number of executions
  • Start/end time
  • Optional label for identifying the flow later

Click Submit to broadcast the flow. A notification will link to the dashboard view.

AuthZ Permissions​

Flows using hosted ICAs require AuthZ (authorization) from your wallet.

In Cosmos, every message has:

  • a typeUrl (e.g., /cosmos.bank.v1beta1.MsgSend)
  • and value fields (payload)

You grant AuthZ to an ICA using MsgGrant for specific message types and expiration (defaults to your flow's end time + 1 day on Intento Portal). The ICA can then use MsgExec to execute those messages.

✅ Security tip: AuthZ in Intento is scoped. ICAs can only execute flows you signed — reducing risk even if the grant is compromised.

info

It’s recommended to test with a small flow before going live, especially on mainnet.

Notes on Message Format​

  • Use camelCase in message fields (e.g., fromAddress not from_address)
  • Token values are in base units:
    • 5 ATOM = 5000000uatom
    • 5 INTO = 5000000uinto
