Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Sheets, Captions, 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 Sheets and Captions integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Sheets and Captions (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Sheets and Captions
Captions + Google Drive: When a new video generation request is submitted, the generated captions file is saved to a specific folder in Google Drive for future use.
Captions + Google Sheets + Slack: When a video generation request is submitted, the flow checks the status and when the request is complete, relevant data (like video ID and number of views) is saved in Google Sheets. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel.
