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

Add the Captions Node
Select the Captions node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Captions, Google Groups, 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 Groups integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Captions and Google Groups (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 Groups
Captions + Google Groups + Slack: When a new video's captions are available, this automation shares the video and its captions to a specified Google Group and then notifies the group members via a Slack channel message.
Google Groups + Captions + YouTube: When a new message is posted in a Google Group, this automation uses Captions to generate a video reply, and then uploads it to YouTube.
