Published on Feb 28th, 2024
In the fast-moving world of project management, staying organized and efficient is key. That's where tools like Trello and Google Calendar come into play, helping teams track their tasks and schedules seamlessly. However, keeping these platforms in sync can become a challenge. Enter Zapier, a powerful automation tool that bridges the gap between your favorite apps and services.
Zapier works by triggering automated actions (or Zaps) between different applications without the need for coding. Integrating Trello with Google Calendar via Zapier allows for the synchronization of tasks, deadlines, and events, ensuring that your team stays on track with their deliverables.
Setting up the Trello-Google Calendar integration through Zapier involves several straightforward steps:
- Start by creating a Zapier account or log in if you already have one.
- Click on 'Make a Zap' to begin setting up your workflow.
- Choose Trello as your trigger app and specify the trigger event, such as 'New Card' or 'Updated Card.'
- Connect your Trello account to Zapier and select the board and list that will trigger the Zap.
- Set up the action by choosing Google Calendar as your action app.
- Connect your Google Calendar account and select the specific calendar where you want your Trello information to appear.
- Customize the event details by pulling in information from the Trello card, such as the card name, due date, and description.
- Test the Zap to ensure it’s working correctly and enable it.
Once everything is set up, new Trello cards or updates to existing ones will automatically create events in your Google Calendar, thereby keeping your team's project timeline visible and up to date.
