How to connect FreeAgent and Google Cloud Storage
Create a New Scenario to Connect FreeAgent and Google Cloud Storage
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

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

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring FreeAgent, Google Cloud Storage, 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 FreeAgent and Google Cloud Storage integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between FreeAgent and Google Cloud Storage (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect FreeAgent and Google Cloud Storage
FreeAgent + Google Cloud Storage + Slack: When a new invoice is created in FreeAgent, archive it as a PDF in Google Cloud Storage, and then notify the finance team on Slack via a channel message, providing a link to the archived invoice.
Google Cloud Storage + Airtable + FreeAgent: When a new file (expense receipt) is uploaded to a specific folder in Google Cloud Storage, create a new record in Airtable to track it. Then, reconcile the expenses in FreeAgent by creating a new task associated with the expense.
