How to connect Google Drive and SpaceX
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Drive and SpaceX
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 SpaceX will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Drive or SpaceX, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Drive Node
Select the Google Drive node from the app selection panel on the right.

Configure the Google Drive
Click on the Google Drive node to configure it. You can modify the Google Drive URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the SpaceX Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Google Drive node, select SpaceX from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within SpaceX.

Authenticate SpaceX
Now, click the SpaceX node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your SpaceX settings. Authentication allows you to use SpaceX through Latenode.
Configure the Google Drive and SpaceX Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Google Drive and SpaceX Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Drive, SpaceX, 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 SpaceX integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Drive and SpaceX (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 SpaceX
Google Drive + Slack + SpaceX: When new launch documents are added to Google Drive, a notification is sent to a specific Slack channel to inform the SpaceX team.
SpaceX + Twitter + Google Drive: When a new SpaceX launch occurs, retrieve the latest tweet about it and save it to a dedicated Google Drive folder for archiving.
