Set the Google Sheets trigger as "Spreadsheet added to folder"

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 "Spreadsheet added to folder" under Google Sheets. Then, select the parent folder where spreadsheets are added. This trigger will automatically detect all the Google Sheets spreadsheets added to a specific folder and trigger necessary actions.

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