How to automatically add users to a Slack channel every time a new contact is created in Google Contacts

A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.

Add the Google Contacts trigger to initiate your playbook's actions whenever a new contact is created. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Contact created" from the dropdown menu under Google Contacts.

If you still need to connect your Google Contacts account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.

Integrate Slack automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt addition of users to a specific channel in Slack every time a new contact is created in Google Contacts.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Add users to channel" automation for Slack and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Slack account still needs to be 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.

Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically add users to a Slack channel every time a new contact is created in Google Contacts without requiring manual intervention.

To activate your playbook, click the toggle button at the header. Before activating, we recommend performing a test run of your playbook to ensure all the steps work seamlessly together.
