Relay.app is an automation tool that lets you automate actions across Apollo, Airtable, and many other apps. In this guide, we'll show you how to automatically run the “create or update contact” action in Apollo for each record added in Airtable using Relay.app.

Try it in Relay.app

Airtable > Apollo

Trigger

Last triggered

Create or update contact

Set the Airtable trigger as “New record added”

A playbook always starts with a trigger that detects changes in your connected applications and responds accordingly.

Add the Airtable trigger to initiate your playbook's actions whenever a record is added. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "New record added" from the dropdown menu under Airtable.

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

Add the “Create or update contact” step in Apollo

Integrate Apollo automation into your workflow to automatically create or update a contact in Apollo whenever a record is added in Airtable.

Click the "Add step" button, locate the "Create or update contact" automation for Apollo, and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Apollo 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 Apollo account.

Activate your playbook

Activating the playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it automatically creates or updates a contact in Apollo whenever a record is added in Airtable 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.
