How to connect Softr and Gmail
Create a New Scenario to Connect Softr and Gmail
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step

To do this, click "Choose an app," find Softr or Gmail, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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