![]() We are using a New or Update Row Trigger on the Google Sheet - with the Trigger Date as the column we are looking at for “Updates”. This is due to the values being dynamic from our Sheet and not being selected directly from the Dropdown in the Trello action.Īs long as the ID values are correct on our Sheet - the Zap will work when it runs live. Note: Please do not be concerned if you see messages that say there is a problem loading List or Member data. Those 2 Steps above are all we need to create the Card on a Recurring Basis. The Trigger will be a New or Updated Spreadsheet Row in Google Sheets - where we choose our Trigger Sheet and use the Trigger Date as our Trigger Column.Īnd then we would map in all the fields from our Sheet to the appropriate fields in the Trello Create Card action in Step 2. If you aren’t going to add any Custom Labels to your Zap - then this Zap really only needs 2 Steps. You can just copy/paste from those formulas into your Trigger Sheet for the dates you are wanting to use to Trigger the Zap (or for the Due Date). To make this as easy as possible for you I’ve included Worksheets for Trigger Date Formulas and Due Date Formulas in the file shared above. The Trigger Date is going to be a formula that will either trigger on the same date each month or same day each week. To make the dates dynamic - we’ll use Formulas in the Sheet that Google will update on a regular basis as the date changes every day. We want both of these Dates to be dynamic so that they trigger the zap at the correct time and add the correct due date. The most challenging part of our Sheets setup above are the Date Fields (Trigger Date and Due Date). Likewise, if we have Custom Labels we want to use in the Zap - the Add Label to Card Action in Zapier can be used to get the IDs for Specific Custom Labels. We can find ID values for Members and Lists in a similar manner. To get those ID values for your Sheet - we can use the Create Card Action in Zapier to find the specific values we need.įor example below - we can see the Board ID value starring with “5f7737.” under the name for the “A new test board”. I’ll talk about the Trigger Date and Due Date in a bit.įirst - I do want to point out that for many of the other Trello Fields like Member, Board and List - we need to send Trello ID values rather than Names for those fields. You’ll notice the regular fields you’d expect here when creating a Trello Card like Title, Description, Due Date, Time. ![]() Just choose File > Make a Copy - and it will create a copy you can alter for your own Zap. I’ve shared a template here you can use to get started. Google Sheets will enable me create tasks as a row on a Spreadsheet - but how do I get them to run automatically each Week or Month? Make Your Sheet. Plus I want to be able to add and delete tasks from this list easily. I could build a Zap for each Task using Schedule by Zapier - but that would create a lot of Zaps to manage - since each Task would need it’s own Zap. There are a lot of tasks I want to run on a recurring basis (every week or month).įor example - maybe I want a Trello card to run a full backup of my computer on a monthly basis. Hey - Jared back again with another workflow idea for you! ![]()
