Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Captions, Google Calendar, 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 Captions and Google Calendar integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Captions and Google Calendar (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Captions and Google Calendar
Google Calendar + Captions + Slack: When a new or modified event is added to Google Calendar, the automation retrieves the event details and sends a message to a specified Slack channel containing the event title and any available video captions related to that event.
Google Calendar + Captions + Email: This automation lists upcoming events in a Google Calendar. For each event, it checks the status of related video generation requests and compiles a digest of event details and corresponding video caption statuses. This digest is then sent as a weekly email.
