Automate Your Trello Workflow with Zapier: Taking the Top Card to New Heights

Are you looking to enhance your Trello experience with the power of automation? Look no further, as the combination of Zapier and Trello can streamline your task management effortlessly. Zapier, an online automation tool, connects your favorite apps and services, and Trello, a visual project management tool, when integrated, can save you time by automating routine actions.

To make Zapier take the top card in Trello, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Set Up Your Trello Board

Ensure your Trello board is organized with your cards listed in the desired sequence. The 'top' card should be the first card in the list you want Zapier to act upon.

Step 2: Create a Zap

A 'Zap' is an automated workflow between your apps. Log in to Zapier and click on 'Make a Zap!' to start creating your custom workflow.

Step 3: Choose Trello as the Trigger App

Search for Trello within Zapier and select it as the trigger app. This means that your workflow starts with an event in Trello.

Step 4: Select the Trigger Event

Choose 'New Card' as your trigger event, or if you want more specific control, select 'New Card in List' to specify the list from which Zapier should take the top card.

Step 5: Connect Your Trello Account

Authorize Zapier to access your Trello account and select the board and list you want to work with.

Step 6: Test the Trigger

Zapier will prompt you to test the connection. Ensure the test successfully identifies the top card in your chosen list.

Step 7: Set Up the Action

Decide what you want Zapier to do with the top card. You can connect to other apps like Slack, Google Sheets, or even other Trello boards and lists.

Step 8: Activate Your Zap

Once you're happy with the setup, turn your Zap on. Zapier will now automatically take the top card from your specified Trello list and perform the chosen action.
