1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating Google Forms responses to Trello boards, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. After logging into your Pabbly Connect account, click on the blue ‘Create Workflow’ button on the dashboard. This step is crucial as it allows you to initiate the automation process.

Next, provide a name for your workflow, such as ‘Add Google Forms Responses to Trello Boards Automatically.’ Select the main workflow folder and click on ‘Create’. You will then see two boxes labeled as trigger and action, which are essential for connecting Google Forms and Trello through Pabbly Connect.

2. Connecting Google Forms to Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will connect Google Forms to Pabbly Connect. First, select Google Forms as your trigger application. The specific trigger event to choose is ‘New Response Received’. This event will activate whenever a new form submission is recorded.

• Select Google Forms as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event ‘New Response Received’.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for setup.

Once you have copied the webhook URL, return to your Google Sheets linked with the form. Click on ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and search for the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on. Install it if you haven’t done so already. This integration allows data from Google Forms to be sent directly to Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring Google Sheets for Data Capture

After setting up the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on, you need to configure your Google Sheets to capture form submissions. Open the add-on and paste the copied webhook URL. Specify the trigger column, which will be the column that indicates a new entry.

• Paste the webhook URL in the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on.
• Set the trigger column to your final data column.
• Enable the ‘Send on Event’ option for real-time data capture.

Once configured, every new form submission will automatically send data to Pabbly Connect. This setup ensures that your Google Forms responses are seamlessly integrated into your workflow.

4. Sending Data from Pabbly Connect to Trello

Now that Google Forms is connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to send the data to Trello. For this, select Trello as the action application and choose the action event ‘Create Card’. This will create a new card in Trello for each form submission.

To establish this connection, you will need your Trello API key and token. Click on the hyperlink provided in the Pabbly Connect interface to access your Trello developer API keys. Paste the API key and token into the respective fields in Pabbly Connect.

5. Finalizing Your Automation Workflow

After connecting Trello to Pabbly Connect, select the Trello board where you want to create the cards. You can map the fields from the Google Forms responses to the Trello card fields, ensuring that each new submission is accurately represented.

Finally, test the automation by submitting a new response in Google Forms. You should see the new card created in your selected Trello board, complete with all relevant details. With this setup, Pabbly Connect will handle the automation, allowing you to focus on other tasks.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can efficiently automate the process of transferring Google Forms responses to Trello boards. This integration streamlines your workflow and eliminates manual data entry, saving you time and effort.
