Add the Paperform "Submission received" 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 "Submission received" under Paperform. Then, select the form. This trigger will automatically detect all the new submissions received in Paperform to send a new email in Gmail.

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

Add the Gmail "Send email" automation

Integrate the Gmail automation into your playbook to ensure the automatic send of an email via Gmail for every submission received in Paperform. Add a new step and select "Send email" from the list of Gmail automations.

Connect Gmail to Relay.app if you haven't already, then fill out the mandatory and relevant details. You can reference fields from Paperform to automatically pass along the right data.

3

Turn on the playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate sending a new email in Gmail for every new submission received in Paperform. Once turned on, it will respond to every submission received in Paperform by sending a new email in Gmail 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 sent correctly.
