Create card from template with Google Forms

Tara Miller_dvcowy

We're a photography company that just started using Trello. We plan to use a Google Form as our contact form on our website, which will then generate a new Trello card on our project board when someone submits the form (via Zapier).But we'd like to take it a step further and have it create the new card from one of our template cards based on what type of photography service they are requesting because each type of service has a different set of checklists, etc. For example, if they choose "Event Photography" on the Google Form, we'd love it to create the new Trello card by copying/duplicating our Event Photography template card we've created & saved on that same board. Is this possible?

Hi @Tara Miller 

Welcome to the community.

1 question, are you committed to Google Forms?  There are a some great form power-up's that remove the need for Zapier as an intermediate layer.

Hipporello goes 1 step further will the ability to build forms and a user portal

This is just a thought based on my experience.  I try to avoid external connectors unless absolutely necessary for my solutions.

You can map all of these solutions to custom fields, which you can also do with Zapier.  Once the data is in custom fields, you can use automation to process it to meet your needs.

So if a card is added to Trello with the custom field Service set to "Event Photography".  You can copy the data from a template card "Event Photography" into the card.

What parts of a Trello card would be included in your template, e.g. Description, labels, checklists, attachments etc??
