When Typeform submissions are not integrated with Trello, the marketing team faces significant delays in project initiation. For instance, when a new lead fills out a Typeform survey, the data, including their contact information and project requirements, must be manually entered into Trello. This manual entry often leads to transcription errors, with critical details such as deadlines or specific requests being overlooked. As a result, the project management team wastes hours every week correcting these mistakes and chasing down missing information, which could have been automatically transferred.

Top Ways to Automate Typeform & Trello

  • Automated Task Creation: Instantly create Trello cards from Typeform submissions, ensuring that every response is captured and acted upon without manual intervention.
  • Real-Time Updates: Automatically update Trello cards with new information from Typeform responses, keeping your project boards current and reducing the need for constant manual checks.
  • Enhanced Team Collaboration: Trigger notifications in Trello for team members whenever a Typeform response is submitted, fostering immediate engagement and collaboration on new tasks.

How to Build the Typeform → Trello Sync

  1. In Typeform, navigate to the 'Connect' section and set up a Standard Webhook. Use the endpoint https://yourdomain.com/webhook to receive form submissions.
  2. In your webhook handler, extract the relevant payload data from the Typeform submission, focusing on fields like email, project_name, and requirements.
  3. Construct a POST request to the Trello API at https://api.trello.com/1/cards. Include the following parameters in the request body: name (set to the project_name), desc (set to requirements), and idList (the ID of the Trello list where the card should be added).
  4. Ensure you append your Trello API key and token as query parameters to the URL: ?key=YOUR_API_KEY&token=YOUR_OAUTH_TOKEN.
  5. Test the integration by submitting a Typeform entry and verifying that a new card appears in Trello with the correct data.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

  • Ensure that the field names in the Typeform payload exactly match the expected parameters in the Trello API. For example, if the Typeform field is named project_title but you send name as project_title in the Trello request, it will result in an empty card name.
  • Be cautious of the Trello API's response structure. If your POST request fails, the error message will provide specific details about what went wrong, such as invalid list ID or missing required fields.
  • When extracting data from Typeform, ensure that you handle cases where fields may be left blank, as this could lead to incomplete Trello cards if not properly validated.
