  • Multi-App Zap: Using Google Form responses to create a Google Doc with linked Trello Card

I am trying to create a zap with the following steps:

  • A Google Form response is received
  • A new Google Doc is created from a template
  • A Trello card is created that includes a link to the newly created Google Doc

The last step is what is giving me trouble. I have set up a zap that will create a new Google Doc with responses to a Google Form, then a Trello card will be created also using the responses from that Form. However, I cannot figure out how to ensure that the Trello card contains a link to the newly created Google Doc.

 

Does anyone have any advice?

Hi @BCAdmin!

Have you tested the Google Docs step, in order to then have the fields that you need to map in later steps? If you skip it or add a later step without testing it at all, you won’t have the fields you need to map the link to Trello.

Can you double-check and make sure you’ve tested that Create Document from Template step for Google Docs?

Thank you Nick. The Create Document from Template step for Google Docs was working properly. The problem seemed to be with the links available from that step. The best I found was the embed link, which only linked to a preview of the newly created document, not an editable version.

 

I’ve solved it by adding a Find a Document step for Google Docs before the creation of the Trello card. While it’s not optimal, that step produces a direct link to the new Google document, which can then be pulled into the Trello card.

 

Seems to be working so far!

@BCAdmin that’s great news! Thank you for sharing how you solved this!
