Click "Add trigger" and select "Submission received" under Paperform automation. Then, select the form. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect new submissions received in Paperform and initiate necessary actions.

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

Add the "Add to channel" in Slack automation

Integrate the Slack automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt addition of the respondents to the channel for each submission received in Paperform.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Add to channel" automation for Slack and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Slack account isn't already connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Slack account.
