Creating a Google Sheet from information in the "Description" section

Jerry Taylor_3lvyvm

I'm trying to automate the creation of a Google Sheet as follows:

-When a card gets moved to a certain column then a Google Sheet is created

-The data that goes into each column in the Google Sheet need to be specific things found in the Description section of the Trello card (we itemize product and customer details in the Description section)

I have Zapier and tried to do this but Zapier can't pull details from the description section so I'm wondering if there is another tool I can use. Any help would be much apprecaited. Thanks!

Why can't Zapier pull information from the card description? Other people on the internet have claimed to be able to pull specific details from the description in the exact way you want to, so my first question would be how you came to the conclusion that you can't do it.

Is there something specific that you know for a fact about your use case that is different from others that prevents you from pulling the description?

Or is it possible that you are not implementing Zapier correctly and, because of that, you think that you can't pull from the card description?

I'm not a Zapier expert, but if you provide the specific details about why you can't pull from the card description, then it would be easier to know if another tool could do it in your scenario.

If it is the case that you do happen to be mistaken that you can't do it, then maybe we can figure out how to make it happen in Zapier, and save you a headache.

 

Either way, I'm happy to help any way that I can, or perhaps someone more familiar with Zapier will step in. I'm convinced we can make this work for you, somehow! Just let me know. :-D
