Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring FreshBooks, Firecrawl, 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 FreshBooks and Firecrawl integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between FreshBooks and Firecrawl (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect FreshBooks and Firecrawl
Firecrawl + FreshBooks + Slack: When Firecrawl identifies a new competitor mention online by scraping a website, an invoice is automatically created in FreshBooks to bill the client for market research, and a notification is sent to a Slack channel.
Firecrawl + Google Sheets + FreshBooks: When Firecrawl detects competitor pricing changes on a scraped website, the data is logged in Google Sheets. If a price war is detected based on changes logged, a credit note is created in FreshBooks for affected clients. Price war detection would need to be implemented via Javascript code block, evaluating data written to Google Sheets.
