Set the Harvest trigger as “Task updated”

Once you have finished creating your playbook, the next step would be to begin with the first action. A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.

Add the Harvest trigger to initiate your playbook's actions for every task update. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Task updated" from the dropdown menu under Harvest. This will allow your playbook to automatically identify newly updated tasks and trigger necessary actions.

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

2

Add the “Send message” step in Slack

Integrate Slack automation into your playbook to ensure that you receive timely updates for every updated task in Harvest.

Select "Add Step" and then find the "Send message" automation for Slack. Enter all the required details, including the sender's name, the Slack channel for updates, and the message body containing detailed information.

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.

3

Activate your playbook

Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically send Slack messages to a channel for every task update in Harvest without requiring manual intervention.

To activate your playbook, click the toggle button at the header. Before activating, we recommend performing a test run of your playbook to ensure all the steps work seamlessly together.
