■How the Flowbot Works

1. First, connect Airtable and OpenAI with Yoom
2. Next, select Airtable as the trigger and set the action to “When a record is added”
3. Then, set OpenAI’s “Generate text” action as the operation and create a prompt that summarizes the text information retrieved from Airtable
4. Finally, set Airtable’s “Update a record” action as the operation and add the summary text generated by OpenAI to the specified record

* “Trigger”: An action that initiates the flow. “Operation”: An action that processes data within the flow after the trigger is activated.

■Customization Options
