1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Trello and Gmail Integration

To send email notifications when new comments are added to Trello, you will first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to integrate Trello with Gmail seamlessly, automating the notification process. Start by signing into your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can sign up for free on their website.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Send Email Notifications for New Comments Added in Trello,’ and click on the ‘Create’ button. This will open a blank workflow where you can configure your trigger and action.

2. Configuring the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set Trello as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Trello from the list of applications and choose the trigger event as ‘New Activity in a List.’ This event will notify you whenever a new comment is added to a card within your selected list.

• Select Trello as the trigger application.
• Choose the event ‘New Activity in a List.’
• Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Trello account.

After connecting your Trello account, you will need to specify the board and list you want to monitor. For example, if you are using a board named ‘Social Media Post,’ select this board and the specific list where comments will be added. Make sure to save your settings to ensure the trigger is configured correctly.

3. Setting Up the Action to Send Email Notifications

Next, you will configure the action that will take place when a new comment is detected. In this case, you want to send an email through Gmail. Select Gmail as the action application in Pabbly Connect and choose the event ‘Send Mail.’ This action will allow you to send an email notification whenever a new comment is added.

• Select Gmail as the action application.
• Choose the event ‘Send Mail.’
• Connect your Gmail account by clicking ‘Add New Connection.’

After connecting your Gmail account, fill in the details for the email. Specify the recipient’s email address, the sender’s name as ‘Trello,’ and compose the email content. You can format the email to include the list name, card name, and the comment that was added. This ensures that all relevant information is included in the notification.

4. Testing the Integration for Successful Notifications

Once you have configured both the trigger and action in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test the integration. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to verify that the email notification is sent correctly. Check your Gmail inbox to confirm that the email notification has been received.

If the test is successful, you will see a confirmation message in Pabbly Connect. This means that your workflow is functioning as intended and that you will receive email notifications for new comments added to your Trello cards. Make sure to save your workflow to keep the integration active.
