Set the Cal.com trigger as “Booking upcoming”

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

Add the Cal.com trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a booking is scheduled. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Booking upcoming" from the dropdown menu under Cal.com.

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