How to connect Microsoft OneNote and SmartSuite
Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft OneNote 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 Microsoft OneNote, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Microsoft OneNote or SmartSuite will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft OneNote or SmartSuite, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
