Add the Mailchimp trigger

Every playbook starts with a trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and runs your playbook accordingly.

Click "Add trigger" and choose "New subscriber" from the Mailchimp options. Next, you'll need to specify which Audience to monitor. If you haven't yet integrated Mailchimp with Relay, you'll be asked to connect your Mailchimp account at this point.

Now, your playbook will activate automatically with each new subscriber added to your Mailchimp list.
