Step 9. Test your scenario
To make sure that both modules work together, you need to test your scenario.
Right-click the Google Sheets module and select Choose where to start.
Select "All" and click Save.
In the Scenario Builder toolbar, click the Run once button.
Check the operation bubbles above each module to see the results. The numbers shown in the bubbles indicate how many operations were processed.
Click on the operation bubble above the Google Sheets module to see all rows processed in the Output section. Since we selected "All" in step 2, it processed all rows in your Google sheet (up to the limit of 20 you set earlier).
Click on the operation bubble above the Slack module to see:
- The Input information it received from Google Sheets.
- The Output information about the Slack message it sent.
Go to your Slack channel and check that notification appeared correctly.
Compare the data in your Slack message with your Prospects spreadsheet to ensure all information was transferred correctly.
Understanding bundles
A bundle is a collection of data delivered together. It can contain a single piece of information (like an email address) or multiple pieces of data (like spreadsheet rows). When you click on the operation bubbles, you'll see the bundles that were processed:
- Input bundle: Contains the information you entered into the module and data you mapped from previous modules.
- Output bundle: Contains the results of the actions taken in the application and any data generated that can be mapped to the next module.
- Each bundle processed counts as one operation for action modules (like your Slack module).
- Trigger modules (like your Google Sheets module) only use one operation, even if they output multiple bundles.
For example, if your Google sheet has 3 rows and you selected "All," the Google Sheets module will generate 3 output bundles but only use 1 operation because it's a trigger module. These become input bundles for the Slack module, which processes them and sends 3 messages. The Slack module uses 3 operations because it processes three input bundles.
