Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Cloudinary, Slack bot, 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 Slack bot integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Cloudinary and Slack bot (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 Slack bot
Cloudinary + Google Drive + Slack bot: When a new image is uploaded to Cloudinary, it is automatically backed up to a specified folder in Google Drive. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel, informing users about the new backup.
Slack bot + OpenAI GPT Assistants + Cloudinary: When a user sends a message to the Slack bot, the message is forwarded to an OpenAI GPT Assistant for analysis. Based on the analysis, the assistant generates an image using DALL-E or other tools (if configured). The generated image is then uploaded to Cloudinary for storage and future use.
