Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring ConvertAPI, Google Chat, 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 ConvertAPI and Google Chat integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between ConvertAPI and Google Chat (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect ConvertAPI and Google Chat
ConvertAPI + Google Drive + Google Chat: Automatically converts a file using ConvertAPI, saves the converted file to a specified folder in Google Drive, and then sends a notification message in Google Chat with a link to the saved file.
