Set the Pipedrive trigger as "Deal added"

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

Click "Add trigger" and select "Deal added" under Pipedrive. Then, select the necessary permissions. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the new deal added in Pipedrive and initiate necessary actions.

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