How to send Teams messages for new Google Drive folders
Create your playbook and set the Google Drive trigger as "Folder 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 "Folder created" under Google Drive. Then, select details like the folder name. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the new folder created in Google Drive and initiate necessary actions.
If this is your first time using a Google Drive integration in Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.
Add the "Send message" in Teams automation
Integrate the Teams automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt sending of a message in Teams for each new folder created in Google Drive.
Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Send message" automation for Teams and input the mandatory and relevant details.
If your Teams 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 Teams account.
Activate your Relay.app playbook
Activating your playbook is the final step to automate sending of a message in Teams. Once turned on, it will respond to each new folder created in Google Drive by sending a message to Teams 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.
