Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google docs, Kintone, 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 Kintone integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google docs and Kintone (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 Kintone
Kintone + Google Docs + Slack: When a new record is created in Kintone, the flow retrieves the linked Google Document. If the document has been updated, a notification is sent to a Slack channel.
Kintone + Google Sheets + Google Docs: When a new record is created in Kintone, data from that record is added as a new row in Google Sheets. A summary of this data from Google Sheets is then generated in a Google Docs document.
