Add the Typeform trigger to initiate your playbook's actions before submitting a form.

To do this, click "Add trigger" in your playbook and select the "New response" trigger from the Typeform options. Then, choose the specific form you want to work with (e.g., "Swag Orders"). This will allow your playbook to identify new form submissions and automatically perform the necessary actions.

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