Hello, 

I have a zep set up so that every new email inquiry that is sent creates a new card on Trello. However I have noticed that with every email reply via my Gmail inbox creates a new card with the new response. How do I set up my Zap so that everything is managed through the first Trello card? Is this possible? 

Hi @The Copy Shop - James 

You’ll want to configure this logic:

  • Find/Create
    • Find the Trello Card, else create a Trello Card
  • Update
    • Update the Trello Card using the ID from the previous step

Okay, 

Thank you! 

That response was helpful and leads me to another question.

So If I would like to manage my board so that as I move cards through each list would I need to create a new path so that each new list that the card moves to gets updated with these email replies when the Find/Create function is triggered?

I hope I am understanding this correctly here, I noticed in Find/Create it asks for a list for the card, but the way I would like to set things up is so that the card is always being updated even when moving through several different lists. Is that possible?

If you want to find/create a Trello Card, then 2 fields are required:

List

Card Name

 

If you want to only find a Trello Card, then 1 field is required:

Card Name

 

You can use Paths to handle the creating vs the updating of a Trello Card.

Thank you! 

You have been very helpful and I think I understand this now.
