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.
