Click "Add trigger" and select "Conversation is assigned" under Front automation. Then, select the relevant team or inbox. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect new assigned conversations in Front and initiate necessary actions.

If this is your first time using a Front integration in Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.
