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