Relay.app is an automation tool that lets you automate actions across Google Docs, Retable, and many other apps. In this guide, we'll show you how to use Relay.app to automatically run the Google Docs “Copy document” action for each Retable “Row added” event.

Try it in Relay.app

Retable > Google Docs

Trigger

Last triggered

Row added

Copy document

Add the Retable 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 "Row added" under Retable. Then, like a table. If this is your first time using a Retable integration in Relay, you'll be prompted to connect your Retable account.

Every time a new row is added in Retable, your playbook will run automatically.

Add the Google Docs "Copy a document" automation

Now, you can create a copy of a document in Google Docs. Add a new step and select "Copy a document" from the list of Google Docs automations.

Connect Google Docs to Relay if you haven't already, then fill out the details like the document to copy, document title, and target folder. You can reference fields from Retable to pass along the correct data automatically.

Turn on the playbook

When you are done with the playbook, it's time to turn it on.

The playbook will run automatically whenever a new row is added in Retable. You can also click "Check now" to manually check whenever you'd like.
