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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Apify, GoCanvas, 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 Apify and GoCanvas integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Apify and GoCanvas (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Apify and GoCanvas
Apify + GoCanvas + Google Sheets: Extract data from websites using Apify's web scraping capabilities. This data is then used to automatically populate forms in GoCanvas, streamlining data entry. Finally, completed form submissions are logged in Google Sheets for record-keeping and analysis.
GoCanvas + Apify + Slack: When a new form is submitted in GoCanvas, the submission triggers Apify to extract additional information about the client, potentially from provided URLs or names. This extracted information is then summarized and sent to a designated Slack channel to notify relevant teams.
