Set the Paddle trigger as "Subscription status changed"

Every playbook starts with a trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and runs your playbook in response.

To set up this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "Subscription status changed" under Paddle. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect each paused subscription in Paddle and initiate necessary actions.

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