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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring ClickSend, ConvertAPI, 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 ClickSend and ConvertAPI integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between ClickSend and ConvertAPI (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect ClickSend and ConvertAPI
ClickSend + ConvertAPI + Google Drive: When a new SMS is received in ClickSend, ConvertAPI converts a specified document to PDF, and then Google Drive uploads the converted file to a designated folder.
ConvertAPI + Airtable + ClickSend: When a file is converted by ConvertAPI, the resulting file's URL is saved to an Airtable record, and then ClickSend sends an SMS notification about the conversion status.
