How to connect Kintone and SmartSuite
Create a New Scenario to Connect Kintone and SmartSuite
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Kintone, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Kintone or SmartSuite will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Kintone or SmartSuite, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Kintone, SmartSuite, 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 Kintone and SmartSuite integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Kintone and SmartSuite (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 SmartSuite
Kintone + SmartSuite + Slack: When a new project is created in Kintone, it automatically creates a corresponding record in SmartSuite. Subsequently, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel to inform project managers about the new project.
SmartSuite + Kintone + Google Sheets: When a project in SmartSuite is updated, the project information is updated in Kintone. A summary report of all projects, including the updated one, is then generated and appended to a Google Sheet.
