To do this, click "Add trigger" in your playbook. Select the "Opportunity stage changed" trigger option from the dropdown menu under Salesforce. It will enable your playbook to automatically identify newly changed opportunity stages and trigger necessary actions.

If you still need to connect your Salesforce account to Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.
