Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Harvest, Google Ads, 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

Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest and Google Ads (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 Google Ads
Harvest + Google Ads + Slack: When a new time entry is created in Harvest, the workflow checks if the project's time exceeds the allocated budget. If the budget is exceeded, the Google Ads campaign is paused, and a notification is sent to the project manager via Slack.
Google Ads + Harvest + Google Sheets: This workflow tracks Google Ads spend and project time tracked in Harvest. It fetches campaign information from Google Ads and project time entries from Harvest. The data is then added as a new row in Google Sheets for reporting and analysis.
