Hey there,

i want to get stared in Zapier and the first use case i want to try is:

 

  • Turn a slack message into a trello card
  • notifiy me about trello cards that are not finished every 4 hours by messaging me in slack

I am particulary interested in clues about

  • How to get the list of trello cards
  • how to trigger the check every 4 hours

Cheers

Jens


 

Hi @j.kisters 

Zaps are best suited to work on an individual record (e.g. Card) basis rather than in bulk (e.g. Cards).

More advanced solutions generally involve an app’s API.

App APIs can be used in Zaps with the Code app or Webhooks app.

Code: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help

Webhooks: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/help

 

You can use the Schedule app to trigger Zaps are defined intervals: https://zapier.com/apps/schedule/integrations

 

You may want to consider using these Zap steps.

  1. Trigger: Slack - New Pushed Message
  2. Action: Trello - Create Card
  3. Action: Delay (for 4 hours)
  4. Action: Trello - Find Card (map Card ID from step 2)
  5. Action: Filter (exclude completed Trello Cards)
  6. Action: Slack - Send Channel Message (or other option)
