Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Harvest, Microsoft Teams, 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 Microsoft Teams integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest and Microsoft Teams (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
