Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring FreeAgent, Slack, 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 Slack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between FreeAgent and Slack (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 Slack
FreeAgent + Google Sheets + Slack: When a new invoice is created in FreeAgent, the details are added to a Google Sheet for summary. A daily update summarizing the FreeAgent invoices is sent to a Slack channel.
Slack + FreeAgent + HubSpot: When a client mentions 'payment' in a Slack channel, the flow checks their FreeAgent account for overdue invoices. If an invoice is overdue, a task is created in HubSpot to follow up with the client.
