How to automatically send a drafted email in Gmail every time a row is added in Coda

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

Add the Coda trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a row is added. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Row added" from the dropdown menu under Coda.

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

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

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.

Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it automatically sends a drafted email in Gmail every time a row is added in Coda 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.
