Relay.app shut down on 16 July 2026. Paid accounts are deleted on 14 September 2026. Here is how each Relay concept maps to Helios, and what to export first.

01
Export your Relay data before 14 September
Relay.app deleted free accounts on 15 August 2026 and deletes paid accounts on 14 September 2026. Sign in while you still can. Copy each playbook's steps, prompts, and connected apps into a document. Screenshots are fine. The prompts are what you will reuse.
02
A Relay playbook becomes a Helios workflow
A playbook was a trigger plus a chain of steps. A Helios workflow is a prompt, a model, a trigger, and the integrations it may use. Write the steps of the playbook as sentences in the prompt. The agent decides the order at run time and shows every call in the transcript.
03
Map each Relay trigger
A Relay schedule becomes a Helios schedule. Describe it in plain words and Helios writes the cron expression. A Relay webhook becomes a signed Helios webhook. A Relay app event becomes a GitHub, Slack, or Plain event in Helios. Events from other apps are not available yet. Use a schedule that checks the app every few minutes instead. Relay form and email triggers have no Helios equivalent today. Point the form's webhook at Helios instead.
04
Map each Relay step to an integration
Relay offered a fixed list of actions per app. Helios gives the agent the full API of each connected integration. Connect the same apps from Settings, then Integrations. If you used a Relay action that did not exist for an app, it will most likely be reachable now.
05
Replace human in the loop steps
Relay let a person approve a step inside a run. Helios has no approval step inside a run today. For messages and records, have the workflow draft and post to a Slack channel or leave the draft unsent, then let a person send it. For shared files, the Library stages every agent change for a person to approve.
06
Replace Relay AI steps with the model choice
Relay charged AI credits per step. In Helios the whole run is one agent with a model you pick per workflow. Prompts that were split across several AI steps in Relay usually merge into one paragraph.
07
Run each workflow by hand first
Start each migrated workflow by hand and read the transcript before you add the trigger. Then turn on the trigger and watch the first few runs. You start with 5,000 free credits.
