Never forget those weekly repetitive tasks with this handy Zap! Set up this integration to automatically create a new card in Trello every week, at a time of your choosing.

The more tasks you accumulate, the harder it is to keep your records accurate. Automate the process with Zapier, however, and you'll always be up-to-date. When you're setting up this Zap, tell us which Trello list to watch; from then on, the integration will react automatically whenever a new card is moved onto it, sending the details to Google Sheets and logging everything you need in a new row for your archives.

Create, edit, and share spreadsheets wherever you are with Google Sheets, and get automated insights from your data.
