Set the Coda trigger as “Row added”

A playbook always starts with a trigger that detects changes in your connected applications and responds accordingly.

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

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

Add the “Update or create contact” step in Google Contacts

Integrate Google Contacts automation into your workflow to automatically update or create a contact in Google Contacts every time a row is added in Coda.

Click the "Add step" button, locate the "Update or create contact" automation for Google Contacts, and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Google Contacts 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 Google Contacts account.

Activate your playbook

Activating the playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically update or create a contact in Google Contacts every time a row is added in Coda without 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.
