Set the Paddle trigger as “Payment attempt added”

Add the Paddle trigger to initiate your playbook's actions for every payment attempt.

To do this, click "Add trigger" in your playbook. Select the "Payment attempt added" trigger option from the dropdown menu under Paddle. It will enable your playbook to automatically identify newly payment attempt and trigger necessary actions.

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