Add the Google Sheets "Row added" trigger

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 "Row added" under Google Sheets. Then, select the specific sheet. This trigger will automatically detect all the new rows added in Google Sheets to create a new contact in Front.

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