Frequently Asked Questions about Gmail + Trello integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Gmail and Trello
How can I connect my Gmail account with Trello?
To connect your Gmail account with Trello, you’ll need to set up a new Zap within our platform. Begin by selecting Gmail as the trigger app and choose a specific trigger event, such as 'New Email' or 'New Labeled Email'. Then, set Trello as the action app where you can define actions like 'Create Card' or 'Add Comment.' Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the integration.
What types of triggers and actions are supported in the Gmail and Trello integration?
For triggers from Gmail, you can choose events like 'New Email', 'New Attachment', or receiving an email from a specific sender. On Trello's side, actions include 'Create Card', 'Update Card', and adding comments to existing cards that sync when triggered by new data from your Gmail account.
Can I filter which emails trigger actions in Trello?
Yes, you have the ability to use filters when you're setting up your Zap. For example, you could set criteria such as only triggering when an email comes from a specific address or contains a particular subject line. This ensures only relevant emails will fire off actions in Trello.
Do I need any special permissions for integrating Gmail with Trello?
You'll need to authorize access for both your Gmail and Trello accounts during setup. Our system prompts authorization requests which must be approved so that it can manage emails in Gmail and execute tasks in Trello on your behalf.
How do I handle attachments sent via email using this integration?
When setting up your Zap for handling attachments from Gmail to Trello, select triggers like ‘New Attachment’. You can then add an action step in Trello that uploads these attachments directly to a card, allowing seamless transfer of files.
Is there a limit on how many emails can trigger actions in my connected apps?
The number of emails that can trigger actions is generally unlimited; however, it depends on the terms of service from both Gmail and our platform limits based on your subscription plan. Please check those details if you're anticipating high volumes of triggered tasks.
How often does data sync between Gmail and Trello once integrated?
Data typically syncs instantly between Gmail and Trello once an event is triggered. The exact timing may vary slightly depending on server loads but is usually processed within minutes of receiving an email if conditions match those set in your Zap's configurations.
