Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Groups, Harvest, 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 Harvest integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Groups and Harvest (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 Harvest
Harvest + Google Groups + Google Sheets: When a new time entry is created in Harvest, the automation retrieves the associated user's group memberships from Google Groups. It then adds a row to a Google Sheet logging the time entry details, including the group(s) the user belongs to, for project time tracking and analysis.
Harvest + Google Groups + Slack: When a Harvest project exceeds its budget, the automation identifies members of a specified Google Group and sends a notification to a designated Slack channel, alerting them about the budget overrun.
