Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google docs, TimeCamp, 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 TimeCamp integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google docs and TimeCamp (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 TimeCamp
Google Docs + TimeCamp + Slack: When a new document is created in Google Docs, the automation creates a time entry in TimeCamp. After the time entry is created, a message is sent to a Slack channel.
TimeCamp + Google Docs + Google Sheets: When a new time entry is created in TimeCamp, the automation gets the document from Google Docs and adds the new time entry to the document. Then, the updated document is copied to a new row in Google Sheets.
