# Streamline the developer onboarding experience with the Run in Postman button

Once you've [prepared your public collections](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/prepare/public-collections/), [curated them](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/prepare/curate/overview/), and [published your public APIs](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/publish/public-apis/), create a *Run in Postman* button. Then, add it to your developer website, API reference, documentation, and each of your public collection's overview pages.

The Run in Postman button makes your public APIs more discoverable. With one click, an API consumer can start their API journey with your public APIs and get to their first 200 OK response.

Successful API publishers use the Run in Postman button to grow adoption and curate the developer experience for their API consumers.

If you'd like to learn more about becoming a great API publisher, see [Showcase your public APIs on the Postman API Network](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/overview/).

## Create a Run in Postman button

When someone clicks your Run in Postman button, they're prompted to [fork your public collection](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-version-control/forking-elements/). You can also include an [environment](/docs/sending-requests/variables/managing-environments/) with your collection to help users get to their first 200 OK response in the fewest steps as possible. Postman also makes them a [watcher](/docs/collections/use-collections/collaborate-with-collections/#watch-a-collection) of your collection, which means they'll get notified when you update your collection.

## Customize your Run in Postman button

Further customize the developer experience for your API consumers with custom code.
