Add the Trello "Card added" trigger

Every playbook starts with a trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and runs your playbook in response.

Click "Add trigger" and select "Card added" under Trello. Then, select the list. This trigger will detect all the new cards added in Trello to create a new folder in Google Drive.

If this is your first time using a Trello integration in Relay, you'll be prompted to connect your Trello account.

Add the Google Drive "Create folder" automation

Integrate the Trello automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of a new folder in Google Drive for the relevant Trello card. Add a new step and select "Create folder" from the list of Google Drive automations.

Connect Google Drive to Relay if you haven't already, then fill out the mandatory and relevant details. You can reference fields from Trello to automatically pass along the right data.

Turn on the playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate creating a new folder in Google Drive for every new card created in Trello. Once turned on, it will respond to every new card created in Trello by creating a new folder in Google Drive without manual intervention.

To enable your playbook, click the toggle button located in the header. It is advisable to perform a test run of your playbook beforehand to ensure all steps work seamlessly together and reminders are sent correctly.
