Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Harvest, Monster API, 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 Monster API integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest and Monster API (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 Monster API
Harvest + Monster API + Slack: When a new time entry is created in Harvest, the automation fetches the estimated time for the related project from Monster API. If the actual time exceeds the estimate, a Slack message is sent to a designated channel.
Monster API + Harvest + Google Sheets: The automation fetches project estimates from Monster API and then retrieves the actual time spent on those projects from Harvest. This data, including both estimated and actual hours, is then logged in a Google Sheets spreadsheet for budget tracking and analysis.
