Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google docs, Fotor, 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 Fotor integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google docs and Fotor (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 Fotor
Google Docs + Fotor + Google Drive: When a new document is created in Google Docs, this automation flow extracts images, sends them to Fotor for editing (hypothetically, as there is no direct Fotor action), and saves the edited images to a specified folder in Google Drive. Since there is no direct Fotor editing action, the edited images would need to be manually uploaded back to the flow for the Google Drive save.
Fotor + Google Docs + Slack: This automation will trigger when a new document is created in Google Docs. It retrieves the document, finds images within, sends images to Fotor for editing (hypothetically, as there is no direct Fotor action), and shares the document's content, including the intention to include Fotor edits, to a dedicated Slack channel for team feedback. Since there is no direct Fotor editing action, the user would need to manually update the document with the Fotor edited images.
