Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Cloud Translate, Gmail, 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 Translate and Gmail integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Translate and Gmail (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 Translate and Gmail
Gmail + Google Cloud Translate + Google Sheets: When a new email arrives in Gmail, the flow detects its language, translates the email body to English, and appends the original email and its translation to a Google Sheet for sentiment analysis.
Gmail + Google Cloud Translate + Slack: Upon receiving a new email in Gmail, the flow automatically detects its language. If the email is not in English, it translates the body and sends a notification with the translated text to a specified Slack channel.
