How to automatically send an email from Gmail every time a version is released in Jira
Set the Jira trigger as “Version released”
A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.
Add the Jira trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a version is released. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Version released" from the dropdown menu under Jira.
If you still need to connect your Jira account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.
Add the “Send email” step in Gmail
Integrate the Gmail automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt sending of an email from Gmail every time a new version is released in Jira.
Click the "Add step" button, locate the “Send email” 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 an email from Gmail whenever a version is released in Jira without 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.
