1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start automating Google Calendar events when Trello cards are moved, first access Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly website and sign in or sign up for a free account to access the automation features.

After logging in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button at the top right. You will be prompted to name your workflow, which can be something like ‘Trello to Google Calendar’. This sets the stage for the integration process.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the Pabbly Connect interface, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The trigger is the event that starts the automation, which in this case is moving a Trello card to a list. Select ‘Trello’ as your trigger application.

• Choose the trigger event as ‘Card Moved to List’.
• Connect your Trello account by entering the API key and token.
• Select the Trello board and list where the cards will be moved.

Once these steps are completed, you will see the card details fetched from Trello, confirming that the trigger is successfully set up in Pabbly Connect.

3. Creating the Action Event in Google Calendar

After configuring the trigger, the next step is to set up the action that will occur in Google Calendar. Select ‘Google Calendar’ as the action application in Pabbly Connect.

Choose the action event as ‘Create an Event’. You will need to connect your Google Calendar account, which will allow Pabbly Connect to create events on your behalf. Once connected, select the calendar where the event should be created.

• Map the event title to the Trello card title.
• Set the start date and due date from the Trello card details.
• Choose the appropriate time zone for the event.

After filling in these details, save the settings and send a test request to ensure everything is functioning correctly within Pabbly Connect.

4. Testing the Integration Between Trello and Google Calendar

To verify that the integration works, go to your Trello board and move a card from one list to another. This action should trigger the workflow you set up in Pabbly Connect.

Once the card is moved, check your Google Calendar to see if the event has been created. The event should reflect the details from the Trello card, including the title, start date, and due date.

If the event appears in Google Calendar, congratulations! You have successfully automated the synchronization between Trello and Google Calendar using Pabbly Connect.
