Frequently Asked Questions about Buffer + Trello integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Buffer and Trello
How do I integrate Buffer with Trello using your platform?
To integrate Buffer with Trello, you will need to set up a Zap that connects the two applications. You can create triggers in Trello for actions like 'New Card' or 'Card Moved to List,' which can then prompt Buffer actions like 'Add to Queue' or 'Post Immediately.'
What kind of triggers from Trello can initiate actions in Buffer?
You can use triggers such as 'New Card Created,' 'Card Updated,' or when a 'Due Date is Set' in Trello to initiate corresponding actions in Buffer like adding posts to your queue or updating a scheduled post.
Can I customize the content of a Buffer post when triggered by a Trello action?
Yes, you can map specific fields from Trello cards to your Buffer posts. For instance, the card's name could be used as the post's headline, and you can include additional card details or attachments as part of the post content.
Is it possible to specify which social media accounts in Buffer get updated from a Trello trigger?
Absolutely. When setting up your integration, you have the option to select specific social media profiles within Buffer where updates should be published based on data coming from Trello.
How frequently are updates sent between Trello and Buffer?
Updates between Trello and Buffer are sent in real-time as long as the triggers and actions are properly set up. This ensures that any changes made in Trello reflect immediately on your designated social media platforms through Buffer.
Do I need both admin permissions in Trello and posting permissions in Buffer for integration?
Yes, having admin permissions on both platforms ensures that you can access all necessary features for seamless integration. This includes creating triggers in Trello and enabling posting functionalities within Buffer.
What happens if a trigger fails or there's an issue with posting from Channel A of Buffer when connected with Trello?
If a trigger fails or there's an issue within either platform during an attempted update, we recommend checking the connection settings first. Both our support team and diagnostic tools are available for troubleshooting issues related to failed Zaps.
