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 Google Drive, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Drive or Youform will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Drive or Youform, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
