How to send Slack messages to a channel for newly created Todoist projects
Set the Todoist trigger as “Project created”
Add the Todoist trigger to initiate your playbook's actions before creating a project.
To do this, go to your playbook and click the "Add trigger" button. Then, select "Project created" under Todoist. This will enable your playbook to automatically initiate the necessary actions.
If you haven't connected your Todoist account with Relay yet, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.
Add the “Send message” step in Slack
Integrate the Slack automation into your playbook to ensure that you receive timely updates about the newly created project.
Select "Add Step" and then find the "Send message" automation for Slack. Enter all the required details, including the sender's name, the Slack channel for updates, and the message body containing detailed information.
If you still need to connect your Slack account to Relay, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Ensure that you allow the necessary permissions for Relay to send messages through your Slack account.
Activate your playbook
Activating your playbook is the final step. Once turned on, it will respond to send messages to a Slack channel for newly created Todoist projects 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.
