Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Kintone, ConvertAPI, and any additional nodes, donโ€™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 โ€œRun onceโ€ and triggering an event to check if the Kintone and ConvertAPI integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Kintone and ConvertAPI (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Kintone and ConvertAPI

Kintone + ConvertAPI + Slack: When a new record is created in Kintone, ConvertAPI converts a file associated with the record to PDF format. Then, a message is sent to a Slack channel to notify the team about the new PDF document.

Email + ConvertAPI + Kintone: When a new email is received with an attached scanned document, ConvertAPI converts the document to a PDF. Then, the PDF is uploaded to Kintone, and a new record is created with a link to the uploaded PDF.
