Set the Google Slides trigger as “Presentation added to folder”

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

Add the Google Slides trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a presentation is added to a folder. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Presentation added to folder" from the dropdown menu under Google Slides.

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

Add the “Send draft” step in Gmail

Integrate the Gmail automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt sending of a drafted email in Gmail every time a presentation is added to a folder.

Click the "Add step" button, locate the “Send draft” automation for Gmail, and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Gmail 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 Gmail account.

Activate your playbook

Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically send a drafted email in Gmail every time a presentation is added to a folder 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.
