Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google docs, Wave, 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 Wave integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google docs and Wave (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 Wave
Google Docs + Wave + Slack: When a new document is created in Google Docs (acting as a contract), the automation creates an invoice in Wave based on the document's content. Then, a message containing the invoice details is sent to a specified Slack channel.
Wave + Google Sheets + Google Docs: When a new invoice is created in Wave, the automation adds a row to a Google Sheet to track the invoice details. Then, after a set number of new invoices, create a summary report in a new Google Docs document. The Google Docs document will contain a summary of all invoices.
