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

Add the Google Cloud Storage Node
Select the Google Cloud Storage node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate Apify
Now, click the Apify node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Apify settings. Authentication allows you to use Apify through Latenode.
Configure the Google Cloud Storage and Apify Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Google Cloud Storage and Apify Integration
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 Storage, Apify, 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 Storage and Apify integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Storage and Apify (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 Storage and Apify
Apify + Google Cloud Storage + Google Sheets: When an Apify actor or task finishes running, it saves the scraped data to a Google Cloud Storage bucket. This triggers the workflow to fetch the data from the bucket, analyze it, and then update a Google Sheet with a summary of the findings.
Apify + Google Cloud Storage + Slack: After Apify finishes scraping data and saves the output to Google Cloud Storage, a notification is sent to a specified Slack channel, alerting the team that the scraping process is complete and the data is available.
