Relay.app is an automation tool that lets you automate actions across Google Drive, ClickUp, and many other apps. In this guide, we'll show you how to use Relay.app to automatically run the ClickUp “Create task” action for each Google Drive “Folder created” event.

Try it in Relay.app

Google Drive > ClickUp

Trigger

Last triggered

Folder created

Create task

Set the Google Drive trigger as "Folder created"

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 "Folder created" under Google Drive. Then, select the relevant detail. This trigger will automatically detect all the new folders created in Google Drive.

If this is your first time using a Google Drive integration in Relay, you'll be prompted to connect your Google Drive account.

Add the "Create task" in ClickUp automation

Integrate the ClickUp automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of a corresponding task for each new folder created in Google Drive.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Create task" automation for ClickUp and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your ClickUp 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 ClickUp account.

Activate your Relay.app playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the creation of a new task in ClickUp. Once turned on, it will respond to a new folder created in Google Drive by creating a corresponding task in ClickUp 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.
