Set the Google Sheets trigger as “New row added”

Add the Google Sheets trigger to initiate your playbook's actions before adding rows.

To do this, click "Add trigger" in your playbook. Select the "New row added" trigger option from the dropdown menu under Google Sheets. It will enable your playbook to identify newly added rows and trigger necessary actions automatically.

If you have yet to connect your Google Sheets account to Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.

Integrate the Google Calendar automation to instantly create events.

Select "Add Step" and then find the "Create event" automation for Google Calendar. Enter all the required details, including the Title of the event and Description.

If you still need to connect your Google Calendar account to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Ensure that you allow the necessary permissions through your Google Calendar account.
