[Trello Holiday Calendar] Day 21: Auto-Reply to Form Submissions Using Trello

[#1]

Hey everyone! 👋

Today we’re making sure nothing slips through the cracks if you're receiving enquiries through a form! This one relies on a little collaborative magic between Blue Cat Forms and Email for Trello. Let's check it out. 👀

1. Embed your Blue Cat form on your website. This example is a booking form, but yours could be for anything! Help tickets, job applications – the use cases are endless.

2. When your form is submitted, a Trello card will be created on your board.

3. Using Email for Trello, you can automatically send out an email as soon as a form response is received. Simply set up an automation rule to send out a Saved Reply. The trick to making this work is to use a Trello Custom field for your customer’s email address. Blue Cat Forms will set this value and an automation rule will use the value to send an email:

4. Now you can continue the email conversation – right from Trello! 😎

I really hope this inspires some interesting and time-saving uses for forms + email in Trello!

@Mark Fowles amazing!! that's a really handy way to make sure no emails fall through the cracks. I actually think I might set this up for our Giveaway we're doing on the 25th! 😊
