Integrating Trello Boards with Zapier: Troubleshooting Guide

Published on Feb 28th, 2024

If you're trying to integrate your Trello lists with Zapier but find yourself running into difficulties locating your lists, don’t worry—you're not alone. This issue can be a frustrating setback when you're streamlining your workflows between Trello and other apps. The crux of the problem often lies in understanding the intricacies of how Zapier interacts with Trello.


Firstly, ensure that you have the correct permissions set up within Trello. Zapier can only access lists from the boards available to your Trello account. If you have recently been added to a new board or have changed your Trello account permissions, you might need to reconnect your Trello account within Zapier to reflect these updates.


Another common issue is the setup of the Zap itself. In Zapier, a 'Zap' is the automated workflow that connects your apps and services. When setting up your Zap, you must specify the correct Trello board before you can access its lists. If the board isn't correctly chosen or there's a misconfiguration during the setup process, your lists won’t appear.


It's also possible that there might be a temporary glitch or delay in the syncing process between Trello and Zapier. To troubleshoot this, try creating a new list in Trello to see if it appears in Zapier after a few minutes. Sometimes, simply refreshing the page or re-establishing the connection can solve the issue.


Lastly, it's worth mentioning that Trello and Zapier are constantly updating their systems. It's always a good idea to check the Zapier status page, as well as any recent updates from Trello, that could affect your integrations.


In conclusion, finding your Trello lists in Zapier might involve checking permissions, ensuring correct setup in your Zap, refreshing connections, and staying up-to-date with service changes. With these tips, you should be able to get your Trello and Zapier integration up and running smoothly.
