Set the Trello trigger as "New list added"

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 "New list added" under Trello. Then, select the board. It will enable your playbook to automatically identify newly added lists and trigger necessary actions.

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

Add the "Upload files" in Google Drive automation

Integrate the Google Drive automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt upload of files whenever there's a new list added in Trello.

Select "Add step," then locate the "Upload files" automation for Google Drive and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Google Drive account isn't connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to add deals through your Google Drive account.

Activate your Relay.app playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the upload of a new file in Google Drive. Once turned on, it will respond to a new list added in Trello by uploading the specific file in Google Drive 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 being sent correctly.
