Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Creatomate, Google docs, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy."

Test the Scenario

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Creatomate and Google docs integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Creatomate and Google docs (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
