Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Front, ConvertAPI, 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 Front and ConvertAPI integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Front and ConvertAPI (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Front and ConvertAPI

Front + ConvertAPI + Google Drive: When a new event occurs in Front, specifically a new message with an attachment, the attachment is converted to PDF using ConvertAPI and then uploaded to Google Drive.

ConvertAPI + Front + Slack: When ConvertAPI fails to convert a file, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel to notify the Front support team for manual intervention.
