How to connect ConvertAPI and Recut
Create a New Scenario to Connect ConvertAPI and Recut
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a ConvertAPI, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, ConvertAPI or Recut will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find ConvertAPI or Recut, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring ConvertAPI, Recut, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the ConvertAPI and Recut integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between ConvertAPI and Recut (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
