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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Harvest, 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 Harvest and GoCanvas integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest 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 Harvest and GoCanvas
Harvest + GoCanvas + QuickBooks: When a new time entry is created in Harvest, the workflow retrieves field data from GoCanvas for the corresponding project. It then uses this information to create an invoice in QuickBooks.
GoCanvas + Harvest + Google Sheets: When a new submission is created in GoCanvas, the data is exported to Google Sheets. Then, a timer is started in Harvest to track time spent resolving any issues discovered in the GoCanvas form. Timer stopped event will trigger final actions in other apps (not defined).
