Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Harvest, Tools, 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 Tools integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest and Tools (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 Tools
Harvest + Slack: When a new project is created in Harvest, its details are retrieved to monitor budget spending. When the project budget nears its limit, a notification is sent to a Slack channel to alert the team about potential overspending.
Tools + Harvest + Google Sheets: When a timer is stopped in Harvest, the automation pulls data from Tools and then logs the time spent using a specific tool for a Harvest project into a Google Sheet.
