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

Add the Google Cloud Pub\Sub Node
Select the Google Cloud Pub\Sub node from the app selection panel on the right.

Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Cloud Pub\Sub, Dropbox, 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 Cloud Pub\Sub and Dropbox integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Pub\Sub and Dropbox (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Cloud Pub\Sub and Dropbox
Google Cloud Pub/Sub + Dropbox + Google Sheets: This automation listens for new messages in Google Cloud Pub/Sub, uploads the message content to a text file in Dropbox, and then adds the same data as a new row in Google Sheets for analysis.
Dropbox + Google Cloud Pub/Sub + Slack: When a new file is added to a specified folder in Dropbox, this automation triggers a notification sent via Google Cloud Pub/Sub. Then, this event is forwarded to a specified Slack channel, keeping the team informed about new files.
