How to connect Grist and AI Agent
Create a New Scenario to Connect Grist and AI Agent
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 Grist, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Grist or AI Agent will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Grist or AI Agent, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Grist Node
Select the Grist node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Grist, AI Agent, 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 Grist and AI Agent integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Grist and AI Agent (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Grist and AI Agent
Grist + AI Agent + Slack: When a new record is created or updated in Grist, the AI Agent summarizes the entry. The summary is then sent to a dedicated Slack channel.
Grist + AI Agent + Google Sheets: The AI Agent analyzes data from Grist records and stores the analysis results in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This enables easy reporting and data visualization.
