1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Trello and Airtable Integration

To integrate Trello with Airtable using Pabbly Connect, you first need to access the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in to your account. If you’re new, you can sign up for free and get access to free tasks each month to test the automation.

Once logged in, click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’ to initiate the integration process. Enter a name for your workflow, such as ‘Add New Trello Cards to Airtable Automatically,’ and click on ‘Create’ to proceed. This is where you’ll set up the trigger and action for the integration.

2. Configuring the Trigger Event in Pabbly Connect

The next step is to configure the trigger event in Pabbly Connect. Select Trello as the application for the trigger and choose the event ‘New Card Created’. This means that whenever a new card is created in Trello, it will trigger the automation to add the card to Airtable.

• Select Trello as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event: New Card Created.
• Connect your Trello account by adding your username, API key, and token.

Once you have connected Trello, choose the board and list where the new cards will be created. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture a response. This will ensure that Pabbly Connect is properly receiving data from Trello.

3. Creating a New Card in Trello for Testing

After setting up the trigger, you need to create a new card in Trello to test the integration with Pabbly Connect. Navigate to your Trello board and create a new card in the designated list. For example, you can name it ‘Create a New Video on Instagram Automation’ and click on the ‘Add Card’ button.

Once the card is created, Pabbly Connect will automatically receive the details of the card. You can check the response in the Pabbly Connect dashboard, which should display the card name, list name, and other relevant details. This confirms that the integration is functioning correctly.

4. Adding a Delay for Additional Card Details

To ensure that all necessary details are captured, you can add a delay in Pabbly Connect. This allows you to update the card with additional information, such as due dates and assigned members. Use the action event ‘Delay for Minutes’ and set it to 10 minutes.

• Select the action event: Delay for Minutes.
• Set the delay duration to 10 minutes.
• This allows you to update the card details before proceeding.

After the delay, you can connect Trello again to fetch the updated card details using the action event ‘Get Card Details by ID’. Map the card ID from the previous response to retrieve all necessary information.

5. Sending Trello Card Details to Airtable

Finally, to complete the integration, you need to send the captured Trello card details to Airtable using Pabbly Connect. Select Airtable as the application for the action event and choose ‘Create Record’.

Connect your Airtable account by providing the API token. Once connected, select the base and table where the Trello card details will be stored. Map the fields from Trello to the corresponding fields in Airtable, such as card name, due date, and task details.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the data to Airtable. After refreshing your Airtable account, you should see the new record created with the details from Trello. This confirms that the integration is complete and functioning as expected.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to integrate Trello with Airtable using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can automate the process of adding new Trello cards to your Airtable account. This integration saves time and ensures that your project management is seamless and efficient.
