Set Card Location via Zapier/API

[Deleted user]

When onboarding new members into our organisation via a form online, I'd like to automatically create a Trello card and populate the Location field.

Switching to the Maps view would show visually where in the country our members reside.

We have an automation workflow via Zapier for when new members join - involving apps like HubSpot and Stripe - but it seems when creating a card there is not the option to populate the Location field.

Question - Is there a way to automate card creation and the population of the Location field?

Thanks in advance for any comments.

You will need to use Trello api to update the location attributes on the card. If Lat and Lon is not available you will need to geocode from the address. 
(**Update Apr 1, 2024 - api is no longer available but it can be done in Zapier, Make.com or your own micro)

Take a look at this documentation

It would be so useful if this option was in zapier, I'm in the same boat. I wish this was possible. It opens up so many options with using Trello to map geographic data.

Any update on this?   Would be super helpful if zapier had the option to bring in the location.

Before you can set the attributes using Trello api, you probably need to call some services to geocode a location. All this can be done inside Zapier using Code by Zapier.

How do we accomplish this? I’m not a coder and I’m completely confused as to how to actually make it happen

The Trello card location attributes requires the latitude and longitude of some location. If you have an address you need to use a geocoding api to first get the location data and then use Trello api to update the card attribute from using of Zapier.
