Frequently Asked Questions about Google Drive + Trello integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Drive and Trello
How do I connect Google Drive and Trello?
To connect Google Drive with Trello, you'll first need to create a workflow (we call them Zaps) within our platform. Start by selecting Google Drive as the trigger app and choose what event will trigger the action, such as 'New File' or 'Updated File.' Then, link your Trello account and select an action like creating a card or updating a list when this event occurs.
Can I automatically create Trello cards from new Google Drive files?
Yes, you can set up a Zap where new files in your specified Google Drive folder trigger the creation of new cards in Trello. This requires selecting 'New File in Folder' as the trigger condition on your Google Drive account and linking it to the 'Create Card' action on your Trello board.
What types of triggers are available for Google Drive events?
We offer several triggers for Google Drive including 'New File,' 'Updated File,' and 'New Folder.' These triggers can be linked to various actions in Trello, allowing for seamless task management whenever a change occurs in your drive.
Is it possible to update a Trello card when a file is modified in Google Drive?
Certainly. By setting up an automation Zap with the 'Updated File' trigger in Google Drive, you can choose an action such as updating an existing card’s details in Trello to reflect changes made to that file.
Do I need special permissions to access both platforms during integration?
Yes, you will need proper authorization for both platforms. This requires allowing us access permissions during setup. We ensure this process respects all security protocols so your data remains secure.
How frequently does synchronization occur between Google Drive and Trello?
The frequency of synchronization is determined by how you've set up triggers within our platform. Most Zaps check for new data every 15 minutes; however, certain plans offer faster syncing options if needed.
Can multiple actions be triggered from one event in my integration setup?
Absolutely! One of the strengths of our platform is setting up complex workflows where a single event from Google Drive might prompt multiple actions within Trello—such as creating multiple cards or moving items between lists.
