How to automatically send an email through Outlook every time a row is updated in Coda
Set the Coda trigger as “Row changed”
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 updated. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Row changed" 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.
Add the “Send email” step in Outlook
Integrate the Outlook automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt sending of an email through Outlook every time a row is updated in Coda.
Click the "Add step" button, locate the “Send email” 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 through Outlook every time a row is updated 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.
