Create your playbook and set the Calendly trigger as "Event upcoming"

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

To set up this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "Event upcoming" under Calendly. Then, select details like event type and whether to also trigger events scheduled in other people's calendars. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect the upcoming event in Google Calendar and initiate necessary actions.

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

Add the "Create task" in Todoist automation

Integrate the Todoist automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of a new task in Todoist when there's an upcoming event in Google Calendar.

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

If your Todoist 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 Todoist account.
