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

Add the Netlify Node
Select the Netlify node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate Grist
Now, click the Grist node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Grist settings. Authentication allows you to use Grist through Latenode.
Configure the Netlify and Grist Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Netlify and Grist Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Netlify, Grist, 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 Grist integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Netlify and Grist (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 Grist
Netlify + Grist + Slack: When a new Netlify deploy succeeds, its details (site name, deploy URL) are added as a new row in a Grist spreadsheet. A Slack message is then sent to a specified channel to notify the team about the successful deployment.
Grist + Netlify + Discord bot: When records are created or updated in Grist, a Netlify deploy is triggered. The Discord bot then sends a message to a specific channel with the status of the Netlify deploy.
