to do this you won’t necessarily need this action though → the LLM’s are able to read your PDF’s out of the box

Ah ok good to know. Figured they are the PDF kings and I need data for finance so didn’t want to trust an LLM. In your experience it can extract tables and content no problem Marvin A. ?

Marvin A., I've realized if you add incorrect api keys to the pipedream auth step, it still always says it is successful (at least it did for the shopify one I just did). So whether we put the right or wrong keys in, the user has no way of telling if it worked – except that the lindy UI will not be able to run the step. It should NOT say success if it is not truly a connection, this is really confusing.
