Click "Add trigger" and select "Task created" under Todoist automation. Then, select the necessary details. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect new tasks created in Todoist and initiate necessary actions.

If this is your first time using a Todoist integration in Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.
