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

Click "Add trigger" and select "List created" under Trello. Then, select the board. This trigger will automatically detect all the new lists created in Trello to create a new project in Harvest.

If this is your first time using a Trello integration in Relay, you'll be prompted to connect your Trello account.
