Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Cloud Storage, Canva, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy."

Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google Cloud Storage and Canva integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Storage and Canva (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
