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 SmartSuite will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Groups or SmartSuite, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Groups, SmartSuite, 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 SmartSuite integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Groups and SmartSuite (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 SmartSuite
Google Groups + SmartSuite + Slack: When a new member is added to a Google Group, a record is created in SmartSuite to track the group membership. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel to alert the team about the new member.
SmartSuite + Google Calendar + Google Groups: When a record is updated in SmartSuite (e.g., a project deadline), an event is created or updated in Google Calendar. Then a message is sent to a Google Group notifying members of the updated deadline.
