Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring GoCanvas, Google Drive, 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 Google Drive integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between GoCanvas and Google Drive (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 Google Drive

GoCanvas + Google Drive + Slack: When a new submission is received in GoCanvas, a file containing the submission data is created in Google Drive. A summary message with a link to the file is then sent to a designated Slack channel for review.

GoCanvas + Google Drive + Airtable: Upon receiving a new submission in GoCanvas, a file is created in Google Drive to store the submission. Simultaneously, the data from the submission is used to create a new record in an Airtable database.
