Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Formaloo, Grist, 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 Formaloo and Grist integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Formaloo and Grist (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Formaloo and Grist
Formaloo + Grist + Slack: When a new row is added in Formaloo, it triggers the creation of a new record in Grist. Subsequently, a message is sent to a Slack channel to notify the team about the new record.
Grist + Formaloo + Google Sheets: When a record is created or updated in Grist, the data is used to search for corresponding entries in Formaloo. If a match is found, data from Grist is then used to update a row in Google Sheets.
