How to connect Google Groups and Kintone
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Groups and Kintone
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 Groups, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Groups or Kintone will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Groups or Kintone, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Groups Node

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Groups, Kintone, 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 Kintone integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Groups and Kintone (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 Kintone
Google Groups + Kintone + Slack: When a new record is created in Kintone, relevant information is posted to a designated Google Group. A notification about the new group post is then sent to a specified Slack channel to keep the team informed.
