Set the Front trigger as “Teammate mentioned in a comment”

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 teammate is mentioned in a comment. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Teammate mentioned in a comment" 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 draft” step in Outlook

Integrate Outlook automation into your playbook to automatically send email drafts in Outlook Mail whenever a teammate is mentioned in a Front comment.

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 the playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically send email drafts in Outlook Mail whenever a teammate is mentioned in a Front comment 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.
