How to connect GoCanvas and Gmail
Create a New Scenario to Connect GoCanvas and Gmail
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 GoCanvas, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, GoCanvas or Gmail will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find GoCanvas or Gmail, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring GoCanvas, Gmail, 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 GoCanvas and Gmail integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between GoCanvas and Gmail (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect GoCanvas and Gmail
GoCanvas + Google Sheets + Gmail: When a new submission is added in GoCanvas, the data is added as a new row in a Google Sheet. A summary report from the Google Sheet is then sent via email.
GoCanvas + Gmail + Slack: Upon receiving a new GoCanvas submission, the system checks the submission data for urgent keywords. If found, an email alert is generated, which then triggers a notification in a dedicated Slack channel.
