A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.
Add the Calendly trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time an event is scheduled. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Event scheduled" from the dropdown menu under Calendly.
If you still need to connect your Calendly account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.

Integrate the Outlook automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of a new draft email in Outlook every time an event is scheduled In Calendly.
Click the "Add step" button, locate the “Create draft” automation for Outlook, and input the mandatory and relevant details.
If your Outlook 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 Outlook account.
