To start integrating Trello with Outlook, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless automation between various applications.

Log in to your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one for free. Once logged in, navigate to the ‘Connect’ section to begin setting up your integration.

2. Creating the Integration Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a workflow that connects Trello to Outlook, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in Pabbly Connect. This will allow you to set up specific triggers and actions.

• Choose Trello as the trigger application.
• Select the trigger event, such as ‘New Card Created’.
• Connect your Trello account to Pabbly Connect.

After connecting Trello, you will need to set up the action that takes place in Outlook. Select Outlook as the action application and choose ‘Create Calendar Event’ as the action event. This is where the integration truly begins to automate your workflow.

3. Setting Up Trello Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Once you’ve selected Trello as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect, you will need to configure the specific details of the trigger. This includes selecting your Trello board and the list where new cards will be created.

• Select the Trello board from the dropdown menu.
• Choose the specific list on the board where new cards will be added.
• Test the trigger to ensure it captures new cards correctly.

Testing the trigger is crucial to confirm that the integration works as expected before moving on to the next step. Once confirmed, you can proceed to set up the action in Outlook.

4. Configuring the Outlook Action in Pabbly Connect

With the Trello trigger set, the next step is to configure the action in Outlook using Pabbly Connect. You will specify the details of the calendar event that will be created when a new Trello card is added.

Fill in the necessary fields such as event title, date, time, and description. You can use dynamic fields from Trello to populate these fields, making your integration more effective. For instance, you can set the event title to the name of the Trello card.

5. Testing and Activating the Integration

After configuring both the Trello trigger and Outlook action in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the entire workflow. This step ensures that everything is functioning as intended.

Click on the test button to simulate the creation of a new Trello card and see if it successfully creates a calendar event in Outlook. If everything works correctly, activate your integration to start automating your workflow.

Once activated, every new Trello card will automatically create a corresponding calendar event in Outlook, streamlining your scheduling process.
