  • In “My apps” section, where you can manage your connections (select or create your group first to get access to this section, refer to the Group system ).
  • While building your Flow, you can easily establish a connection to your app directly within the Flow builder. This can be done during the setup of either a Trigger or a Method.

Select the Trigger

It’s important to note that OpenAI integration does not currently include any Triggers.
Flows can be executed by multiple Triggers, depending on the desired workflow.

If you choose to “Run Once“, the Flow will execute using only one Trigger and its sample data.
