Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Slack bot, Dropbox, 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 Slack bot and Dropbox integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Slack bot and Dropbox (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Slack bot + Dropbox + Google Sheets: When a user initiates a conversation with the Slack bot, the bot saves the transcript to a text file in Dropbox. Key data points from the conversation, like user questions and bot responses, are then extracted and logged in Google Sheets for analysis.
Dropbox + Google Docs + Slack bot: When a new file is uploaded to a specific folder in Dropbox, a Google Docs summary of the file's content is automatically created using the 'Create New Document from Text' action. The Slack bot then sends a message to a designated channel, sharing a link to the generated document.
