Add the Webflow trigger to initiate your playbook's actions before placing an order.

To do this, click "Add trigger" in your playbook. Select the "Order placed" trigger option from the dropdown menu under Webflow. It will enable your playbook to identify newly placed orders and trigger necessary actions automatically.

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

Integrate the Slack automation into your playbook to ensure that you receive timely updates about the newly placed Webflow orders.

Select "Add Step" and then find the "Send DM" automation for Slack. Enter all the required details, including the receiver's name, and the message body containing detailed information.

If you still need to connect your Slack account to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Ensure that you allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to send direct messages through your Slack account.
