Set the Front trigger as “Comment added”

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

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

If you still need to connect your Front 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 Mail every time a comment is added in Front.

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