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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Sheets, GoCanvas, 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 GoCanvas integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Sheets and GoCanvas (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 GoCanvas
GoCanvas + Google Sheets + Slack: When a new submission is received in GoCanvas, the data is added to a new row in Google Sheets. Then, a message is sent to a Slack channel to notify the team about the new entry.
GoCanvas + Google Sheets + QuickBooks: When a new submission is received in GoCanvas, the data is added to a new row in Google Sheets. A new invoice is then created in QuickBooks using the data from the Google Sheet.
