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

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

Configure the OpenPhone
Click on the OpenPhone node to configure it. You can modify the OpenPhone URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Podio Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the OpenPhone node, select Podio from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Podio.

Set Up the OpenPhone and Podio 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 OpenPhone, Podio, 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 OpenPhone and Podio integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OpenPhone and Podio (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect OpenPhone and Podio
OpenPhone + Podio + Slack: When a call is missed in OpenPhone (Events from Calls trigger), a task is created in Podio to follow up. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel to alert the sales team.
Podio + Google Calendar + OpenPhone: When a new item is created in Podio (New Item trigger), a Google Calendar event is scheduled. The event details are then sent via OpenPhone SMS to the relevant contact.
