+# Inngest Express Template
+
+This is a [Express.js](https://expressjs.com/) project. It is a reference on how to send and receive events with Inngest and Express.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Use [`create-next-app`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init), [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/), or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) to bootstrap the example:
+
+```bash
+npx create-next-app --example https://github.com/inngest/inngest-js/tree/main/examples/framework-express inngest-express
+```
+
+```bash
+yarn create next-app --example https://github.com/inngest/inngest-js/tree/main/examples/framework-express inngest-express
+```
+
+```bash
+pnpm create next-app --example https://github.com/inngest/inngest-js/tree/main/examples/framework-express inngest-express
+```
+
+Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
+
+- [Inngest functions](https://www.inngest.com/docs/functions) are available at `inngest/`.
+- The [Inngest handler](https://www.inngest.com/docs/sdk/serve#framework-express) is available at `index.ts`.
+
+## Learn More
