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

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

- 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.

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

Google Groups + Salesforce + Slack: When a new post is added to a Google Group, the workflow searches for mentions of a client name. If found, it creates a task in Salesforce and sends a notification to the account manager in Slack.
Salesforce + Google Groups + Gmail: When a new lead is created in Salesforce, the workflow automatically adds them to a specified Google Group and sends them a welcome email via Gmail.
