Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Harvest, Google Calendar, 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 Google Calendar integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest and Google Calendar (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 Calendar
Harvest + Google Calendar + Slack: When a new time entry is created in Harvest, an event is automatically created in Google Calendar to reflect the time spent. A message is then sent to a designated Slack channel to notify the team about the new time entry.
Google Calendar + Harvest + Zoom: When a new event is created in Google Calendar, a corresponding time entry is created in Harvest to track time spent on that event. A Zoom meeting is also created and the details are added to the Google Calendar event.
