1

Create your playbook and set the Airtable trigger as "New record added"

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

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

Add the "Add row to sheet" in Google Sheets automation

Integrate the Google Sheets automation into your playbook to ensure the addition of a new row in Google Sheets when a new record has been added in Airtable.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Add row to sheet" automation for Google Sheets and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Google Sheets 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 Google Sheets account.

3

Activate your Relay.app playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the addition of a new row in Google Sheets. Once turned on, it will respond to each newly added record in Airtable by adding a new row in Google Sheets 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.
