Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Netlify, Cloudinary, 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 Netlify and Cloudinary integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Netlify and Cloudinary (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Netlify and Cloudinary

Netlify + Cloudinary + Slack: When a new deploy succeeds on Netlify, images from the deployed site are uploaded to Cloudinary and transformed, and a notification is sent to a Slack channel.

Cloudinary + Google Sheets + Netlify: Track new uploads in Cloudinary and create a usage report, update the report in Google Sheets, then trigger a Netlify site rebuild to reflect changes.
