1

Create your playbook and set the Asana trigger as "New project added"

After creating your playbook, you can proceed to add your trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and responds to your playbook.

To setup this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "New project added" under Asana. Then, select the Workspace. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the new project added in Asana and initiate necessary actions.

If this is your first time using a Asana integration in Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.

Add the "Create folder" in Dropbox automation

Integrate the Dropbox automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of new folder for each new project added in Asana.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Create folder" automation for Dropbox and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Dropbox 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 Dropbox account.

Activate your Relay.app playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the creation of new folder in Dropbox. Once turned on, it will respond to each new project added in Asana by creating a new folder in Dropbox 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.
