3. Configure the trigger by following the on-screen prompts to connect your email account.

Pro tip

Use the “Duplicate” feature for automations you want to modify. This saves time by allowing you to start from an existing setup rather than beginning from scratch.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid skipping the testing phase. Always use the “Test” button before activating your automation to ensure it works as intended and to catch any errors.
