button titled load template under the add section, click components and find the component named write load template drag and drop the write load template component under the load template playbook trigger with the component clicked, under the data section on the right, click configure this is where you’ll map application record data to the component interface inputs map data according to this chart component input choose this field to map your inputs to applet application name application name applet tracking id current record values values tracking id selected template current record values values collaboration selected template application record current record values values find the new trigger for your newly created playbook button titled send message drag and drop the write create record in message sender component under the send message playbook trigger with the component clicked, under the data section on the right, click configure with the component clicked, under the

application name click save to save to playbook configure automated loading and sending you can configure templates to automatically load and send without any practitioner interaction to do this, create a new application workflow condition and two actions and configure them to the scenario you desire to initiate the automation for this example, let's use the scenario if signal source equals

result in duplicate messages being sent if there are many record actions taking place in a short period of time only use this option if record updates are infrequent at the point where an automated message should be sent using collaboration extension navigate to the components tab and search for the component named execute automate collaboration message send drag and drop the component under the created record event trigger with the component clicked, under the data section on the right, click configure this is where you’ll map application record data to the component interface inputs map
