1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the integration of Pinterest with Trello, you need to access Pabbly Connect. First, visit the Pabbly Connect website and either sign in or create a new account if you haven’t done so already. Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can manage your workflows.

After reaching the dashboard, click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. You will then be prompted to name your workflow. For this integration, name it ‘Pinterest to Trello Boards’. This sets the stage for automating the process of adding new Pinterest pins to your Trello boards.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger that initiates the workflow. The trigger application will be Pinterest, and the trigger event will be set to ‘New Pin’. This means that every time a new pin is created in your Pinterest account, the workflow will be activated. using Pabbly Connect

• Select Pinterest as your trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Pin’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Pinterest account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’ and granting access.

Once connected, you can proceed to save and test the trigger. This step ensures that Pabbly Connect captures the necessary data from your latest pin, which will be used in the subsequent action.

3. Configuring the Action in Trello

Now that the trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action application, which is Trello. The action event will be to create a new card. This allows you to automatically add a card to your Trello board whenever a new pin is created in Pinterest. using Pabbly Connect

• Select Trello as your action application.
• Choose ‘Create Card’ as the action event.
• Connect your Trello account by entering your API key and token.

After connecting Trello, you will need to select the appropriate board and list where the new card should be created. Make sure to map the fields correctly to ensure that the data from your Pinterest pin is transferred accurately to Trello.

4. Mapping Data Between Pinterest and Trello

Mapping is a crucial step in this integration process. It involves creating pathways for data to flow from Pinterest to Trello. In Pabbly Connect, you will use the data captured from the trigger to fill in the fields for the new Trello card. using Pabbly Connect

For example, you will map the title of the Pinterest pin to the name of the Trello card, and the description from Pinterest to the card’s description field. Additionally, you can map the original URL of the Pinterest pin to provide a direct link in Trello. This ensures that all relevant information is transferred seamlessly.

Map the Pinterest title to the Trello card name. Map the Pinterest description to the Trello card description. Map the original URL for easy access to the pin.

Once the mapping is complete, save the workflow and send a test request to verify that the integration works as expected. Check your Trello board to confirm that the new card has been created with the correct details.

5. Finalizing the Integration Process

After successfully testing the workflow, it’s time to finalize the integration. Ensure that all steps have been completed correctly, and save your workflow in Pabbly Connect. This will activate the automation, allowing new Pinterest pins to create Trello cards automatically.

To verify that everything is functioning, create a new pin in your Pinterest account. Once the pin is created, check your Trello board to see if the new card appears with the correct information. This confirms that the integration is working smoothly.

By using Pabbly Connect, you have automated the process of adding new Pinterest pins to your Trello boards, significantly improving your workflow efficiency. This integration not only saves time but also ensures that you never miss an update from your Pinterest account.
