Accessing Pabbly Connect for Google Calendar Event Integration

To begin creating Trello cards from Google Calendar events, access Pabbly Connect. This platform is essential for building the automation needed for this integration. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and either sign in or create a new account if you don’t have one.

Once logged in, you will be taken to the dashboard. Here, you can see various applications supported by Pabbly Connect. To start the integration process, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This will allow you to set up the automation between Google Calendar and Trello.

Setting Up the Trigger with Google Calendar

The first step in your workflow is setting up the trigger. In this case, the trigger application is Google Calendar. Select Google Calendar from the list of available applications in Pabbly Connect. You will then need to choose the trigger event, which should be set to ‘New Event’.

After selecting the trigger event, connect your Google Calendar account to Pabbly Connect. Click on the connect button, then choose ‘Add New Connection’. Sign in with your Google account and allow Pabbly Connect to access your calendar. Once connected, select the calendar you want to use for creating events.

Creating a New Event in Google Calendar

Now that your trigger is set up, you need to create a new event in Google Calendar. Go to your Google Calendar and click on the ‘Create’ button. Fill in the event details such as the title, date, and time. For example, you might create an event titled ‘Team Meeting’ scheduled for June 12 from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM, with a description stating ‘This is for discussing team goals’.

After saving the event, return to Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Save and Test’ button to retrieve the latest event details. This step is crucial as it ensures that the new event is recognized by Pabbly Connect. You should receive a response containing all the details of your newly created event.

Setting Up the Action to Create a Trello Card

With the trigger successfully set up, the next step is to configure the action, which in this case is Trello. Select Trello as your action application in Pabbly Connect. For the action event, choose ‘Create Card with Plain Text Type Description’. This action will create a new card in Trello based on the Google Calendar event details.

To connect Trello to Pabbly Connect, you need to enter your Trello username, API key, and token. You can find your username in your Trello profile. For the API key, go to the Trello developer keys section and copy your personal key. To generate a token, click on the corresponding link in the API key section and allow the necessary permissions.

• Access Trello profile to find your username.
• Copy the API key from the developer keys section.
• Generate and copy the token for Trello access.

After entering all required details, click on ‘Save’ to finalize the connection. Now, you need to select the board where the new card will be created. Choose the board, such as ‘Calendar Events’, and select the appropriate list for the new events.

Mapping Event Details and Testing the Integration

Next, you will map the details of the Google Calendar event to the Trello card. In the name field for the Trello card, map the title of the Google Calendar event. Similarly, map the description from the event to the Trello card description. This mapping process ensures that the details are dynamically transferred from Google Calendar to Trello through Pabbly Connect.

Once all necessary details are mapped, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This action will create a new card in Trello using the details from your Google Calendar event. If the integration is successful, you will receive a positive response indicating that the card has been created.

To verify, check your Trello board, and you should see the newly created card titled ‘Team Meeting’ with the corresponding description. This successful integration demonstrates how Pabbly Connect efficiently automates the creation of Trello cards from Google Calendar events.
