Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring ConvertAPI, Google Drive, 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 Drive integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between ConvertAPI and Google Drive (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 Drive

Google Drive + ConvertAPI + Slack: When a new file is added to a specific Google Drive folder, ConvertAPI converts it to PDF. Then, a message is sent to a Slack channel notifying the team about the converted file and providing a link to it in Google Drive.

Google Drive + ConvertAPI + Email: When a new file is added to a Google Drive folder, ConvertAPI converts it to a specified format. The converted file is then sent as an attachment via email to a designated recipient.
