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

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring PDF.co, OpenAI Vision, 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 PDF.co and OpenAI Vision integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PDF.co and OpenAI Vision (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect PDF.co and OpenAI Vision
Google Drive + PDF.co + OpenAI Vision: When a new PDF is added to Google Drive, it is processed by PDF.co to extract text. OpenAI Vision then analyzes the extracted text, and the results are saved back to Google Drive.
PDF.co + OpenAI Vision + Slack: When a new PDF is uploaded, OpenAI Vision detects objects in it. PDF.co then extracts coordinates based on the object detection and sends the findings in a Slack message.
