How to connect Grist and LlamaCloud
Create a New Scenario to Connect Grist and LlamaCloud
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 LlamaCloud will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Grist or LlamaCloud, 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.
