How to automatically send an email draft in Outlook every time a spreadsheet is added to a folder in Google Drive
Set the Google Sheets trigger as “Spreadsheet 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 Sheets trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a spreadsheet is added to a folder. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Spreadsheet added to folder" from the dropdown menu under Google Sheets.
If you still need to connect your Google Sheets account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.
Add the “Send draft” step in Outlook
Integrate the Outlook automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt sending of an email draft in Outlook every time a spreadsheet is added to a folder in Google Sheets.
Click the "Add step" button, locate the “Send draft” automation for Outlook, and input the mandatory and relevant details.
If your Outlook 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 Outlook account.
Activate your playbook
Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically send an email draft in Outlook every time a spreadsheet is added to a folder in Google Sheets 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.
