How to send email notifications in Gmail when a folder is created in Google Drive

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 "Folder created" under Google Drive. Then, select the folder you wish to monitor. This trigger will automatically detect all the new folder created in Google Drive to send email notification in Gmail.

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

Integrate the Gmail automation into your playbook to ensure prompt email notifications are sent for newly created folders in Google Drive. Add a new step and select "Send email" from the list of Gmail automations.

Connect Gmail to Relay if you haven't already, then fill out the mandatory and relevant details. You can reference fields from Google Drive to automatically pass along the right data.

Activating your playbook is the final step. Once turned on, it will respond to a new folder created in Google Drive by sending an email notification 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.
