Accessing Pabbly Connect for Trello and Notion Integration

To start the process of creating a Notion item from a Trello card, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and navigate to Pabbly.com/connect. If you don’t have an account, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button. This will allow you to create an account in just two minutes, and you will receive 100 tasks free every month.

After signing up or logging in, click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect. This will take you to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. To do this, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, name your workflow (e.g., ‘Create Notion Item from Trello Card’), and click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. The trigger application will be Trello. Search for Trello in the trigger application section and select it. You will then need to choose a trigger event, specifically the ‘New Card’ option.

After selecting the trigger event, connect Trello with Pabbly Connect by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button. You will be required to provide your Trello username, API key, and token. To find your username, go to your Trello profile, then to the profile and visibility section to copy it. For the API key, navigate to the developer API key section in Trello and copy the personal key. Generate the token by clicking on the token hyperlink and allowing access to your account.

• Login to Trello and access your profile.
• Copy your username from the profile section.
• Retrieve your API key and token from the developer section.

Once you have entered all the required details, click on ‘Save’. You will then have successfully connected Trello with Pabbly Connect.

Configuring the Action Step in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, the next step involves configuring the action in Pabbly Connect. In this case, the action application will be Notion. Search for Notion and select it. Your action event will be ‘Create Database Item’.

To connect Notion with Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Connect’ button and add a new connection. You’ll need to select the page in Notion where you want to add the details of your Trello card. Click on ‘Select Pages’ and choose the appropriate page. Allow access to your Notion account when prompted.

• Select the page in Notion for adding Trello card details.
• Allow access to your Notion account for integration.
• Map the necessary fields from Trello to Notion.

Now, you need to map the required fields from Trello to the corresponding columns in your Notion database. This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to dynamically replace the data in real time whenever a new card is created.

Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

With everything set up, it’s time to test the integration. Go back to your Trello account and create a new card in the specified list. For example, you can title the card ‘Finalize Marketing Plan for Q3 2024 Campaign’. Once you add this card, return to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Save and Send Test’ button.

Upon clicking the test button, Pabbly Connect will wait for a response from Trello. If the integration is successful, you will receive a response containing all the details of the newly created card. This includes the title, creator name, board name, and other relevant information.

Finally, check your Notion database to confirm that the card details have been added successfully. You should see the new entry reflecting the details of the Trello card you just created. This confirms that your integration is working seamlessly through Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to automate the process of creating Notion items from Trello cards using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can ensure that every new Trello card is automatically added to your Notion database, streamlining your workflow and enhancing productivity.
