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.
