How to connect Google Cloud Storage and ServiceM8
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Cloud Storage and ServiceM8
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 ServiceM8 will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Cloud Storage or ServiceM8, 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Cloud Storage, ServiceM8, 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 ServiceM8 integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Storage and ServiceM8 (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
