Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Circle, Paperform, 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

Depending on your setup, data should flow between Circle and Paperform (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Circle and Paperform
Circle + Paperform + Slack: When a new member joins a Circle community, their information is sent to Paperform to generate a personalized welcome message. A notification is then sent to a designated Slack channel to inform the admin team.
