To do this, click "Add trigger" in your playbook. Select the "Form submission received" trigger option from the dropdown menu under Jotform. It will enable your playbook to automatically identify newly received forms and trigger necessary actions.

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

If you still need to connect your Slack account to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Ensure that you allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to send messages through your Slack account.
