How to connect Google Cloud Translate and Google docs
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Cloud Translate and Google docs
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step

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 Google docs integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Translate and Google docs (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
