1

Create your playbook and set the Google Calendar trigger as "Event scheduled"

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 set up this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "Event scheduled" under Google Calendar. Then, select the necessary details. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the newly scheduled event in Google Calendar and initiate necessary actions.

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

2

Add the "Create task" in Todoist automation

Integrate the Todoist automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of a new task in Todoist whenever a new event is scheduled in Google Calendar.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Create task" automation for Todoist and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Todoist 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 Todoist account.

3

Activate your Relay.app playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the creation of a new task in Todoist. Once turned on, it will respond to each new scheduled event in Google Calendar by creating a new task in Todoist 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.
