Set the Airtable trigger as “New record added”

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

Add the Airtable trigger to initiate your playbook's actions whenever a record is added. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "New record added" from the dropdown menu under Airtable.

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

Add the “Update subscriber status” step in Mailchimp

Integrate Mailchimp automation into your workflow to automatically update a subscriber's status in Mailchimp every time a record is added in Airtable.

Click the "Add step" button, locate the "Update subscriber status" automation for Mailchimp, and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Mailchimp 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 Mailchimp account.

Activate your playbook

Activating the playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically update a subscriber's status in Mailchimp every time a record is added to Airtable 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.
