Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring FreeAgent, Paypal, 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

Depending on your setup, data should flow between FreeAgent and Paypal (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 Paypal
Paypal + FreeAgent + Slack: When a new successful sale occurs in Paypal, the automation checks if a corresponding invoice exists in FreeAgent. If a matching invoice is found, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel notifying the team of the reconciled payment.
Paypal + FreeAgent + Google Sheets: When a new sale is registered in Paypal, the automation retrieves relevant data from FreeAgent regarding invoices. This data, including payment details and invoice information, is then logged as a new row in a Google Sheet for easy reconciliation and tracking.
