How to connect Front and Square
Create a New Scenario to Connect Front and Square
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step

Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Front, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Front or Square will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Front or Square, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Front Node
Select the Front node from the app selection panel on the right.

- 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Front, Square, 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 Front and Square integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Front and Square (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
