# Add Publisher

Let us start by setting up a [**Publisher**](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/signals/help/publishers/key-aspects/) for our app. This Publisher will listen for any **Stratus Upload/Delete** events and forward them to **Zoho WorkDrive**.

Follow these steps to configure the Publisher:

1. Navigate to the **Catalyst Signals** section in the Catalyst Console and click **Start Exploring**.
