Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring DonationAlerts, Ghost, 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 DonationAlerts and Ghost integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between DonationAlerts and Ghost (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect DonationAlerts and Ghost
DonationAlerts + Discord bot: When a new donation alert is received in DonationAlerts, a message is sent to a designated channel in Discord to thank the donator and boost community engagement.
DonationAlerts + Ghost + Google Sheets: When a new donation is received, the donation amount and subscriber information (if available in Ghost) are added to a Google Sheet for tracking content value and audience support. Note: we are using Donation Alerts as the trigger, but Ghost information won't be directly used. We are tracking only donations.
