Add the Tally "New form submission" trigger

Every playbook starts with a trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and runs your playbook in response.

Click "Add trigger" and select "New form submission" under Tally. Then, select the form. This trigger will automatically detect all the new form submissions in Tally to create a new email draft in Gmail.

If this is your first time using a Tally integration in Relay, you'll be prompted to connect your Tally account.
