Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google docs, Fillout, 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 docs and Fillout integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google docs and Fillout (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google docs and Fillout
Fillout + Google Sheets + Google Docs: When a new submission is received in Fillout, the data is added as a new row in Google Sheets. After that, a summary report is automatically generated in Google Docs using the data from the Google Sheet.
Fillout + Google Docs + Slack: When a high-priority form is submitted via Fillout, a summary document is automatically created in Google Docs. A notification with a link to the document is then sent to a designated Slack channel.
