To do this, click "Add trigger" in your playbook. Choose the "Form response submitted" trigger from the Google Forms options, then choose a form with which you want to work (e.g., "Contact Information"). It will enable your playbook to automatically identify newly submitted forms and trigger necessary actions.

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