Practical ways you can use Smartsheet and Trello
Log Trello activities in Smartsheet.
For activity tracking, Zapier can log new Trello activity (e.g., a card update, move, or comment) into a Smartsheet row. This provides IT teams a streamlined way to maintain records and monitor changes across projects.
When a new Trello card is created, Zapier can add a corresponding row in Smartsheet. This ensures marketing tasks captured in Trello are automatically tracked in Smartsheet for better task visibility and progress monitoring.
Keep your project status centralized. When a row in Smartsheet is updated, Zapier can move or update a card in Trello. This keeps teams aligned and aware of project progress without manual updates.

Frequently Asked Questions about Smartsheet + Trello integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Smartsheet and Trello
How can I automate task creation in Trello when a new row is added in Smartsheet?
You can automate task creation in Trello by setting up a trigger that activates when a new row is added to your Smartsheet. This will automatically create a new card on your specified Trello board, using the details from the Smartsheet row.
Can I update a Trello card when a Smartsheet row is updated?
Yes, you can set up an action to update the details of an existing Trello card whenever there's an update to a corresponding row in your Smartsheet. This keeps information synchronized between the two platforms.
Is it possible to move a Trello card to another list if a cell in Smartsheet changes to 'Completed'?
Absolutely! Set up a trigger based on the condition that detects changes in specific cells within Smartsheet. When it recognizes 'Completed' as a status, it can automatically move the related Trello card to another list like 'Done' or 'Completed'.
How do I set up notifications for changes made in Trello that should reflect back in Smartsheet?
You can create notifications whenever there are changes such as cards moving, being updated, or completed in Trello. These notifications could be sent directly to your email or update specific rows or cells within Smartsheet.
What happens if there's an error syncing data between Smartsheet and Trello?
If there's an error while syncing data between these applications, check if both platforms are correctly set up with no disabled triggers or actions. Error logs and troubleshooting guides will assist you further if issues persist.
Can I use filters so only certain tasks from Smartsheet appear in Trello?
Yes, you can add filters on triggers based on specific conditions within your Smartsheet. This allows only selected entries—such as tasks marked 'High Priority'—to be created or updated within your Trello boards.
Do I need any special permissions to integrate my Smartsheet with my team's Trello board?
You'll need administrator access for integrating these platforms effectively. Ensure access permissions allow creating webhooks and performing automated actions necessary for syncing tasks as per your setup requirements.
