To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft Outlook or Google docs, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft Outlook, Google docs, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy."

Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Microsoft Outlook and Google docs integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Outlook and Google docs (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
