Step-by-Step Guide to Bold Text from Zapier to Trello

Understanding Markdown in Trello

Before diving into the integration process, it is essential to understand that Trello uses Markdown for text formatting. To bold text, you need to encapsulate your text within double asterisks **like this**.

Setting Up Your Zap

1. Create a New Zap: Log in to your Zapier account and click on the 'Make a Zap!' button.

   
   



2. Choose Your Trigger App: Select the application that will serve as the trigger for your Zap.

   
   



3. Set Up Trigger Details: Follow the prompts to specify the details of your trigger. For example, if you want to bold a piece of text every time a new email is received, you should set up the email service as your trigger.

   
   



4. Select Trello as Your Action App: After setting up the trigger, choose Trello as the action app where the result (in this case, bold text) will appear.

   
   



5. Customize Trello Card Content: Proceed to specify the details for the card creation in Trello. This is where the bold text formatting will apply.

   
   

   To bold text, insert your text between double asterisks in the 'Card Name' or 'Description' fields, e.g., **Your Bold Text Here**.

   
   



6. Test Your Zap: Test the Zap to make sure it triggers the action as expected and the text appears bold in Trello.

• Make sure there is no space between the asterisks and your text for the markdown to work correctly.
