Set the Jotform trigger as “Form submission received”

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

Add the Jotform trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a form submission is received. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Form submission received" from the dropdown menu under Jotform.

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

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

Integrate the Google Contacts automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt updating or creating of contacts in Google Contacts every time a form submission is received in Jotform.

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 your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically update or create contacts in Google Contacts every time a form submission is received in Jotform 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.
