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

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

Set Up the Cloudinary and Netlify Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Cloudinary, Netlify, 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 Netlify integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Cloudinary and Netlify (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 Netlify
Netlify + Cloudinary + Google Drive: After a successful Netlify deployment, this automation backs up all recently uploaded Cloudinary assets to a specified Google Drive folder, ensuring data redundancy and easy access to media files.
Netlify + Cloudinary + Slack: When a new Netlify deployment succeeds, the automation checks for recently uploaded images to Cloudinary using a specified tag. If new tagged images are found, a Slack message is sent to a designated channel to notify the team about the new asset usage, maintaining brand consistency.
