In order for Boost.space IntegratorPart of the Boost.space system, where you can create your connections and automate your processes. to automate your tasks for you, you have to create a scenario. A scenario is comprised of a series of modules that indicate how data should be transferred and transformed between apps/services.
There are 4 steps to creating a scenario:
- Choose your apps
- Build your scenario
- Test your scenario
- Activate your scenario
Scenarios are active or inactive. You can change the scenario status by clicking the ON/OFF button in the scenario detail.
Active scenarios execute according to a schedule. See SchedulingBoost.space Integrator allows you to define when and how often an active scenario runs. Use the Schedule setting panel under the Options tab and choose Scheduling to set your preferred schedule. a scenario.
To rename your scenario, click on the scenario‘s name in the top left corner. Pressing ENTER or clicking outside the edited field will save the new scenario name.
TriggersEvery scenario has a trigger, an event that starts your scenario. A scenario must have a trigger. There can only be one trigger for each scenario. When you create a new scenario, the first module you choose is your trigger for that scenario. Create a trigger by clicking on the empty module of a newly created scenario or moving the... allow you to select the first bundleA bundle is a chunk of data and the basic unit for use with modules. A bundle consists of items, similar to how a bag may contain separate, individual items. that you want to process in the scenario. See Selecting the first bundle.
Modules, by default, always return only two bundles. You can change this in the module settings field Maximum number of returned bundles.
Boost.space Integrator allows you to configure a number of other advanced settings. See Scenario settings.
To exemplify how to create a scenario, we will go through the process step-by-step. In our example scenario, we are adding new incoming emails to a Google Sheets spreadsheet as a new row.

For more robust scenarios, repeat the same steps for Step 2 until all the modules are added. |
Before you activate and schedule your scenario, you should test your scenario by running it once.
- To test your scenario, click the play button with Run once beside it.

Once you have tested your scenario, a bubble appears on top of the preceding modules that will provide information about the processed data or what is referred to as bundles.
By clicking this icon it will display the information about the processed bundles, including the number of operations. By clicking the individual operations (OperationAn operation is a task performed by module. 1 and Operation 2 in the diagramThe diagram is a visual representation of your scenario and appears exactly the same way as you see your scenario in the Scenario editor. Use the diagram tab to quickly view:
the execution history of your scenario.
the number of operations and data consumed.
