Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Trello and Google Sheets Integration

Pabbly Connect is an essential tool for automating workflows between applications like Trello and Google Sheets. In this tutorial, we will explore how to instantly add new Trello cards to Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to streamline your workflow by automatically transferring card details from Trello into a Google Sheets document.

To get started, you need to have accounts set up for both Trello and Google Sheets. Once you have these ready, you can access Pabbly Connect to create your integration workflow. This process will ensure that whenever you create a new card in Trello, the details will be automatically added to your specified Google Sheets file.

Setting Up Your Pabbly Connect Workflow

To set up your integration workflow in Pabbly Connect, first, log into your Pabbly account. If you’re a new user, you can sign up for free and receive 100 tasks per month. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Instantly Add New Trello Cards to Google Sheets’.

After naming your workflow, you will see options to set up a trigger and an action. The trigger application will be Trello, and you will select the trigger event as ‘New Card’. This means that every time a new card is created in Trello, it will trigger the next action in your workflow. The action application will be Google Sheets, with the action event set to ‘Add New Row’.

Connecting Trello to Pabbly Connect

To connect Trello to Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Connect’ button in the Trello trigger setup. You will need to enter your Trello username, API key, and token. You can find these details by logging into your Trello account and following the instructions provided in Pabbly Connect.

• Log in to your Trello account to retrieve your API key.
• Generate a token from your Trello account settings.
• Enter the username, API key, and token in Pabbly Connect.

Once you have entered all required information, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection. After successfully connecting Trello to Pabbly Connect, select the specific board and list where you want to monitor new cards. This setup is crucial for ensuring that card details are captured accurately.

Capturing Trello Card Details

After setting up the connection, you will need to create a new card in Trello to capture its details. Go to your Trello board and create a card with a relevant title. For example, you might title it ‘Write an article on the topic Global Warming’. Once the card is created, return to Pabbly Connect to capture the response.

When you click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect, it will wait for a webhook response from Trello. Once you create the new card, Pabbly Connect will capture the details such as the card title and list name. You can then use this information in the subsequent steps of your workflow.

To add more details like due date and description, you can use the ‘Delay by Pabbly’ feature. Set a delay (e.g., 2 minutes) to allow time for you to add these details in Trello. After the delay, you can then use the ‘Get Card by ID’ action in Trello to fetch the complete card information, including the description and due date.

Adding Trello Card Details to Google Sheets

Now that you have captured all necessary details from Trello, it’s time to transfer this information to Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, you will need to set up another connection, this time with Google Sheets. Click on the ‘Connect’ button and sign in with your Google account to authorize access.

Once connected, select the specific Google Sheets file where you want to add the Trello card details. Make sure your Google Sheet has the appropriate columns for card name, description, and due date. Use the mapping feature in Pabbly Connect to insert the data from Trello into the corresponding columns in Google Sheets.

• Map the card title to the card name column.
• Map the description to the description column.
• Map the due date to the due date column.

After mapping the details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the integration. If everything is set up correctly, you will see the Trello card details appear in a new row in your Google Sheets document, confirming that the integration was successful.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to use Pabbly Connect to instantly add new Trello cards to Google Sheets. By following these steps, you can automate the process of transferring card details, ensuring your data is always up-to-date. With Pabbly Connect, you can integrate various applications, enhancing your workflow efficiency.
