Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Groups, Apify, 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 Groups and Apify integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Groups and Apify (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Groups and Apify
Google Groups + Apify + Slack: Monitor Google Groups for new posts. If a post contains specific keywords, Apify scrapes a linked website mentioned in the post. The scraped data is then sent as a message to a designated Slack channel.
Apify + Google Groups + Google Sheets: Apify scrapes product data from a website. It then posts a summary of this data into a Google Group. Finally, the detailed scraped data is logged into a Google Sheet for record-keeping and analysis.
