How to send an email via Gmail for a newly added record in Airtable

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 setup this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "New record added" under Airtable. Then, select the table. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the newly added records in Airtable and initiate necessary actions.

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

Integrate the Gmail automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt sending of an email via Gmail when a new record has been added in Airtable.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Send email" automation for Gmail and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Gmail 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 Gmail account

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the sending of an email via Gmail. Once turned on, it will respond to each newly added record in Airtable by sending an email via Gmail 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.
