Set the Trello trigger as “New card added”

A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.

Add the Trello trigger to initiate your playbook's actions when a new card is added. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "New card added" from the dropdown menu under Trello.

If you still need to connect your Trello account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.

Add the "Get row" and "Update row" step in Google Sheets

Integrate the Google Sheets automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt update of Google Sheets rows when new cards are added to Trello.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Get row" and "Update row" automation for Google Sheets and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Google Sheets account isn't already connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Google Sheets account.

3

Activate your playbook

Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically update Google Sheets rows when new cards are added to Trello without requiring manual intervention.

To activate your playbook, click the toggle button at the header. Before activating, we recommend performing a test run of your playbook to ensure all the steps work seamlessly together.
