Create your playbook and set the QuickBooks Online trigger as "Sales Receipt created"

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 "Sales Receipt created" under QuickBooks Online. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the new sales receipt created in QuickBooks Online and initiate necessary actions.

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

Add the "Send message" in Slack automation

Integrate the Slack automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt sending of a Slack message whenever a sales receipt is created in QuickBooks Online.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Send message" automation for Slack and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Slack 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 Slack account.
