How to connect AI Agent and Tools
Create a New Scenario to Connect AI Agent and Tools
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a AI Agent, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, AI Agent or Tools will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find AI Agent or Tools, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the AI Agent Node
Select the AI Agent node from the app selection panel on the right.

Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring AI Agent, Tools, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the AI Agent and Tools integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between AI Agent and Tools (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect AI Agent and Tools
AI Agent + Tools + Google Sheets: When an AI Agent completes a task, the details of the task and any tools used are added as a new row to a Google Sheet for performance tracking and analysis.
Tools + AI Agent + Slack: If a tool fails during an AI agent workflow, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the team for immediate troubleshooting and intervention.
