Create draftSet the Todoist trigger as “Recurrent Task completed”
A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.
Add the Todoist trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a recurrent task is completed. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Recurrent Task completed" from the dropdown menu under Todoist.
If you still need to connect your Todoist account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.
Add the “Create draft” step in Gmail
Integrate the Gmail automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of a draft email in Gmail every time a recurrent task is completed in Todoist.
Click the "Add step" button, locate the “Create draft” automation for Gmail, and input the mandatory and relevant details.
If your Gmail 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 Gmail account.
Activate your playbook
Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will create a draft email in Gmail every time a recurrent task is completed in Todoist 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.
