How to create a new Salesforce record for a new Apollo contact
Create your playbook and set the Apollo trigger as "Contact created"
After creating your playbook, you can proceed to add your trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and responds to your playbook.
To setup this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "Contact created" under Apollo. Then, select the necessary details. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the new created contact in Apollo and initiate necessary actions.
If this is your first time using a Apollo integration in Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.
Add the "Create record" in Salesforce automation
Integrate the Salesforce automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of a new record in Salesforce when a new contact has been created on Apollo.
Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Create record" automation for Salesforce and input the mandatory and relevant details.
If your Salesforce 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 Salesforce account.
Activate your Relay.app playbook
Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the creation of a new record in Salesforce. Once turned on, it will respond to each newly created contact in Apollo by creating a new record in Salesforce 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.
