How to automatically add a new person to a Slack channel when a new row is added in Google Sheets
Create your playbook and set the Google Sheets trigger as "New row added"
After creating your playbook, you can proceed to add your trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and runs your playbook in response.
To setup this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "New row added" under Google Sheets. Then, select the necessary details. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the newly added row in Google Sheets and initiate necessary actions.
If this is your first time using a Google Sheets integration in Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.
Add the "Add to channel" in Slack automation
Integrate the Slack automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt addition of a new user to the Slack channel when a new row has been added in Google Sheets.
Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Add to channel" automation for Slack and input the mandatory and relevant details.
If your Slack account isn't already connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Slack account.
Activate your Relay.app playbook
Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the addition of a new user to the Slack channel. Once turned on, it will respond to each newly added row in Google Sheets by adding a new user to the Slack channel without manual intervention.
To enable your playbook, click the toggle button located in the header. It is advisable to perform a test run of your playbook beforehand to ensure all steps work seamlessly together and reminders are being sent correctly.
