Set the Trello trigger as “New list added”

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

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

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

Add the “Send email” step in Outlook

Integrate Outlook automation into your playbook to automatically send an email via Outlook whenever a list is added in Trello.

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.

3

Activate your playbook

Activating the playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically send an email via Outlook every time a list is added in Trello 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.
