Before you start

Steps

Install it

  1. On Workflows, select the arrow beside + New workflow, then From a template.
  2. In Search templates, type Trello.
  3. On Typeform answers as Trello cards, select Use this template.
  4. In Install into, choose the workspace or project, then select Install as a draft.
  5. The toast says Installed as a draft, for example Typeform answers as Trello cards is in Consulace. Connect Typeform and Trello, then publish. An app it doesn't name had one connection in the workspace, and the template has chosen it. Select Open it. The workflow opens in the designer with two steps.

Fill in the steps

  1. Select When the form is answered (Typeform · New response). Choose the Typeform Connection, then the Form.
  2. Select Add a card (Trello · Create a card).
    • Choose the Trello Connection, then the Board and the List.
    • Name is already the form's name and the respondent's email. Description says when it was answered.
    • Add answers to Description by their names, such as {{ trigger.what_do_you_need }}. Each answer comes under a name made from its question. To see them before any response arrives, add a Typeform · Get a form step for the same form, select Run this step, and read each question's key on Output. Then delete that step.
    • Choose Labels, Members or a Due date if you want them set.
  3. Publish the workflow. Publishing sets up the trigger in Typeform. Until then no response reaches Bizomate, and Test run has none to start with, so the steps run with the trigger's fields empty.
  4. To try it, answer the form yourself. Once published the workflow is on, so your response runs it. To run it again with the same response, open the trigger's Output, select Use the last event, then Test run. See How instant triggers work.

What happens next

  • Each response adds one card.
  • Uploaded files come with the run. To attach one to the card, choose it under Attach a file.

Good to know

  • A form with no email question leaves the respondent empty in the card's name. Change Name to an answer that's always there.
