How to connect Google Drive and HeyGen
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Drive and HeyGen
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Google Drive, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Drive or HeyGen will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Drive or HeyGen, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Drive, HeyGen, 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 Drive and HeyGen integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Drive and HeyGen (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Drive and HeyGen
