1

Create your playbook and set the Google Forms trigger as "Form response submitted"

After creating your playbook, you can proceed to add your trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and runs your playbook in response.

To set up this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "Form response submitted" under Google Forms. Then, select the form. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the newly received response in Google Forms and initiate necessary actions.

If this is your first time using a Google Forms integration in Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.

Add the "Upload file" in Dropbox automation

Integrate the Dropbox automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt file upload whenever a new response is submitted in Google Forms.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Upload file" automation for Dropbox and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Dropbox account isn't already 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 Dropbox account.

Activate your Relay.app playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate uploading the file in Dropbox. Once turned on, it will respond to each new response is submitted in Google Forms by uploading the file in Dropbox without manual intervention.

To enable your playbook, click the toggle button located in the header. It is advisable to perform a test run of your playbook beforehand to ensure all steps work seamlessly together and reminders are being sent correctly.
