Save and Activate the Scenario

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

Most powerful ways to connect Google Chat and Harvest

Google Calendar + Harvest + Google Chat: When a new or modified event is detected in Google Calendar, a message is sent to Google Chat reminding the user to start tracking time in Harvest for the event.

Harvest + Google Chat + Slack: When a new time entry is created in Harvest, this flow checks if the project's budget has been exceeded. If it has, a message is sent to both Google Chat and Slack notifying project managers.
