Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Harvest, Google Sheets, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy."

Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Harvest and Google Sheets integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest and Google Sheets (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
