Using Google Drive to create/send a new card to TRELLO using ZAPIER

Sande Olson December 18, 2024

For several years we have successfully created new Trello cards from Google word document using ZAPIER with a link to said document... and along few standard internal navigational links.

Recently, links are no longer working. Was able to repair navigational links to their associated fields on Trello cards, but the originating document link no longer populates.

It appears Slack extension may assist with re-gaining this functionality. Any ideas on how to do that?

Hi @Sande Olson!

While I’m not entirely sure how Zapier operates to achieve this result, I’d be glad to investigate any recent Trello changes that may have impacted it. Could you provide some additional context? I’d appreciate it if you could let us know where you're seeing the links in Trello, and add a screenshot of how they look like (just remember to blur any private details!).

Also, I’m curious about how the Slack extension could be beneficial. If you came across this information in the Atlassian Community, it would be great if you could share the link to the post with us.

Further explanation: We use the Zapier extension to create Trello cards on-demand (to escalated specific issues to alert team Members) pushed from Google Documents.

It stopped working. The custom fields on card template (links to relevant support documentation) was easy to fix, I just re-entered the URLS.

However, the custom field... that linked the created card back to the originating Google document no longer works. It has been so long since I created this automation, I do not recall how I captured the originating Google document link. How do I display link back to originating document? Any ideas?

Thank you for the explanation @Sande Olson! Could you please share a screenshot of what the link looks like?

There is no screen shot to take. Sorry. I am simply trying to show the originating google document URL on the Trello card so Team Members can return to/visit notes to update notes.

I initially thought the link was being added, but it wasn't working. I'm sorry I misunderstood this issue. If the URL to the Google document is not being added to your Trello card’s Custom Field through the Zapier automation, I recommend contacting Zapier support for help with your automation. Since this integration is developed by a third-party company, we don’t have the resources to provide support.
