How to connect Google Cloud Storage and Google Groups
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Cloud Storage and Google Groups
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 Google Groups will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Cloud Storage or Google Groups, 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.

Configure the Google Cloud Storage
Click on the Google Cloud Storage node to configure it. You can modify the Google Cloud Storage URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Google Groups Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Google Cloud Storage node, select Google Groups from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Google Groups.

Authenticate Google Groups
Now, click the Google Groups node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Google Groups settings. Authentication allows you to use Google Groups through Latenode.
Configure the Google Cloud Storage and Google Groups 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 Google Groups 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, Google Groups, 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 Google Groups integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Storage and Google Groups (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 Google Groups
Google Cloud Storage + Google Groups + Slack: When a new file is uploaded to a specified folder in Google Cloud Storage, the automation retrieves the list of members from a specified Google Group and sends a message to a designated Slack channel mentioning the group and notifying them about the new file.
Google Groups + Google Cloud Storage + Google Sheets: This automation lists new members in a Google Group, then archives the member list to a file in Google Cloud Storage, and logs metadata of each member, such as email and group roles, in a Google Sheet for analysis.
