Add the Outlook trigger

Every playbook starts with a trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and responds to your playbook.

Click "Add trigger" and select "Email received" under Outlook. Then, choose details like "Sender contains" and "Recipient contains". If this is your first time using an Outlook integration in Relay, you'll be prompted to connect your Outlook account.

Every time an email is received in Outlook, your playbook will run automatically.
