Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating Google Forms with Trello, you will first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect landing page through your browser. Here, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free if you are a new user.

Once you are logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can see various Pabbly applications. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button for Pabbly Connect to get started with your workflow.

Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you need to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘Add Attachments to Trello Cards from Google Form Responses’. Choose the folder where you want to save this workflow.

This step is crucial as it sets up the foundation of your automation. In the workflow window, you will see options for triggers and actions. The trigger will be the event that initiates the workflow, while actions are the tasks that follow. For our integration, we will select Google Forms as the trigger.

Setting Up Google Forms as Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up Google Forms as your trigger in Pabbly Connect, select it from the application list. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Response Received’. This setup means that every time a new response is submitted in your Google Form, the workflow will be triggered.

Once selected, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL, as you will need it to connect your Google Form with the Pabbly workflow. Open your Google Form and go to the ‘Responses’ tab to link it with Google Sheets, ensuring you can track submissions effectively.

Linking Google Forms to Pabbly Connect

After copying the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect, navigate to your Google Sheets linked with your form. Here, go to ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. Install it if you haven’t already.

• Open your Google Sheets linked with the form.
• Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons.
• Search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks and install it.

Once installed, refresh your Google Sheet. You will now see the Pabbly Connect Webhooks option under Extensions. Click on it, and select ‘Initial Setup’. Here, paste the webhook URL and select the trigger column, which is typically the last data column in your sheet.

Creating Trello Card Action in Pabbly Connect

With the Google Forms trigger set up, it’s time to create the Trello card action in Pabbly Connect. Choose Trello as your action application and select the action event as ‘Create a Card’. This action will create a new Trello card every time a new Google Form response is submitted.

You’ll need to connect your Trello account by entering your API key and token. Follow the instructions provided in the Pabbly Connect interface to retrieve these credentials from your Trello account. Once connected, select the board and list where you want to create the card.

Map the fields from your Google Forms response to the Trello card fields. For example, map the project name to the card title and any attached documents to the card’s attachments. This step ensures that all necessary information is captured in Trello, allowing for better organization and tracking of projects.
