Practical ways you can use Trello and Google Chat
Get project updates in Google Chat
Stay informed about project progress without manually checking Trello. When a new card is moved to a specific list in Trello (e.g., 'Completed'), Zapier will send a message to a designated Google Chat room. This ensures business owners have real-time updates and can focus on strategic decisions.
Business OwnerNotify team about marketing tasks
Improve communication on marketing initiatives. When a new task or card is created in Trello for marketing activities, Zapier will instantly post details to a specific Google Chat room. This keeps the whole team aligned and minimizes missed deadlines.
Marketing & Marketing OpsAlert team on Trello card progress
Ensure team members stay aware of task progress. When a card is moved to a new Trello list (e.g., 'In Progress' or 'Review'), Zapier will send an automated Google Chat message to a relevant team channel. This minimizes delays and ensures everyone remains aligned without constant check-ins.

Frequently Asked Questions about Trello + Google Chat integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Trello and Google Chat
How do I set up the integration between Trello and Google Chat?
To set up the integration, use our platform to create a Zap. Start by selecting Trello as your trigger app, choose an event (like 'New Card' or 'Card Moved'), and then select Google Chat as your action app where you'll decide on a corresponding response, such as sending a chat message.
Can I receive notifications in Google Chat when a Trello card is updated?
Yes, you can configure the integration to send updates directly to your Google Chat. Choose 'Card Updated' as the trigger in Trello, and then set an appropriate action like sending a message to your chosen chat room in Google Chat.
Is it possible to add comments to Trello cards via Google Chat using this integration?
This integration allows you to automate posts in Google Chat but does not support directly adding comments back into Trello from Chat. You can only receive notifications about activity happening in Trello.
What kind of events from Trello can trigger actions in Google Chat?
You can set various events from Trello, such as when a new board is created, cards are moved, or lists are archived. These triggers will prompt corresponding actions like sending messages or alerts through Google Chat.
Do I need any special permissions or accounts to use this integration?
You will need valid accounts for both Trello and Google Workspace with necessary access rights. Ensure that you have permissions to access the boards on Trello and send messages on a selected space within Google Chat.
How often does this integration check for updates in Trello?
The frequency of checks depends on the plan you are subscribed to with us. Typically, Zaps check for updates every 15 minutes on standard plans. Ensure that timing aligns with your needs for the most effective notification setup.
Can I customize which details from the Trello card appear in the chat message?
Yes, during setup of your Zap between Trello and Google Chat, you'll be able to map specific fields from the card such as title, description, due dates, etc., deciding what information will appear in your chat messages.
