How to automatically send emails via Gmail every time a contact is created in Google Contacts

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

Add the Google Contacts trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a contact is created. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Contact created" from the dropdown menu under Google Contacts.

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

Integrate the Gmail automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt sending of an email using Gmail every time a contact is created in Google Contacts.

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.

Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically send emails via Gmail every time a contact is created in Google Contacts 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.
