Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft SharePoint Online, Slack, 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 SharePoint Online and Slack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft SharePoint Online and Slack (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
