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

Add the OpenAI DALL-E Node
Select the OpenAI DALL-E node from the app selection panel on the right.
