Create your playbook and set the Monday.com trigger as "Group created"

After creating your playbook, you can proceed to add your trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and responds to your playbook.

To setup this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "Group created" under Monday.com. Then, select details like the board. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the new group created in Monday.com and initiate necessary actions.

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

Add the "Create folder" in Google Drive automation

Integrate the Google Drive automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of a new Google Drive folder whenever a new item is added to a specific board in Monday.com.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Create folder" automation for Google Drive and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Google Drive 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 Google Drive account.

3

Activate your Relay.app playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the creation of a new Google Drive folder. Once turned on, it will respond whenever a new item is added to a specific board in Monday.com by creating a new folder in Google Drive without manual intervention.

To enable your playbook, click the toggle button located in the header. It is advisable to perform a test run of your playbook beforehand to ensure all steps work seamlessly together and reminders are being sent correctly.
