Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring SmartSuite, Front, 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 SmartSuite and Front integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between SmartSuite and Front (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect SmartSuite and Front
SmartSuite + Front + Slack: When a new record is created in SmartSuite, the automation finds the relevant team in Front based on project details, and sends a message to a specified Slack channel to notify the team about the update.
Front + SmartSuite + Jira: When a new event occurs in Front, create a new record in SmartSuite to track it as a project. Additionally, create a linked Jira task to resolve any issues arising from the Front event.
