Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Cloudinary, Grist, 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 Cloudinary and Grist integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Cloudinary and Grist (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Cloudinary and Grist

Cloudinary + Grist + Google Drive: When a new resource is uploaded to Cloudinary, the image details are added as a new record in Grist. Then, Grist data is backed up as a file to Google Drive.

Grist + Cloudinary + Airtable: When a record is created or updated in Grist, a new image is dynamically generated in Cloudinary using data from the record. The details of the generated image are then logged in Airtable.
