# How to create Miro widgets from new Trello cards

Keep projects moving and teams working across different tools by automatically connecting Trello with Miro.

Sometimes, it takes a few different tools to bring your ideas to life. Maybe you keep track of project ideas in [Trello](https://zapier.com/apps/trello/integrations) but pull the details together in [Miro](https://zapier.com/apps/miro/integrations). Or maybe you track your personal to-dos in one spot but collaborate with your team in another.

Jumping from app to app can make it easy to lose important project details or stop your creative flow in its tracks, right when you're ready to start working. Instead, you can use an automated workflow—what we call a Zap—to create Miro widgets from new Trello cards automatically to keep projects moving. Here's how.

## Connect Trello with Miro

Zapier lets you create automated workflows called Zaps, which send your information from one app to another. You can [create your own Zap](https://zapier.com/editor) from scratch without any coding knowledge, but we also offer quick templates to get you started. 

If you'd like to start with a template, click on the Zap template to go to the Zap editor. You'll need to create a Zapier account if you don't already have one. Then, follow the directions to set up your Zap.

### Set up your Trello trigger

First, set up your trigger—the event that starts your Zap. If you're using the Zap template, the trigger app and event will already be selected for you. Otherwise, search for and select **Trello **as the trigger app and **New Card** as the trigger event. Click **Continue**.

Next, connect your Trello account, if you haven't already, then click **Continue**. 

Now, it's time to customize your trigger step. First, select the right Trello board in the _Board _field and the list where you'd like your Trello card to go in the _List_ field.

In the _Filter_ field, you also select **open**, **closed**, or **all tasks**.

When you're done, click **Continue**.

Now click **Test trigger** to test your trigger step. Zapier will show you the three most recent tasks from your selected task list. If you don't have any tasks, we recommend you create a sample task for testing. 

Choose one task—this will be used to set up the rest of your Zap—and click **Continue with selected record**.

### Set up your Miro action

Now it's time to set up the action—the event your Zap will perform once it's triggered. If you're using the Zap template, these will already be selected for you. Otherwise, search for and select **Miro** as your action app and **Create Card Widget** as your action event. Click **Continue**.

Next, connect your Miro account, if you haven't already, then click **Continue**. 

Now, let's customize your Miro action. First, select the _Board_ and _Frame_ where you want your Miro widget to go in their respective fields.

Now fill in the card title, link, and description fields. If you're using the Zap template, these will already be mapped for you from your Trello card. But you can easily change the included details by clicking within the fields and selecting the data you'd like to use from the dropdown.

Lastly, you can also customize the card border color in Miro. By default, it will be _light blue_, but you can choose from one of the presets or add any color you'd like using the hex format. Once everything is set up, click **Continue**.

Now, click **Test step** to test your Zap. Zapier will send the sample data to your Miro board of choice. Open the Miro board to check if everything showed up correctly. Here's what our board looked like:

And that looks like a success! If everything looks right, you're ready to use your Zap. Now, every time you add a new card to your Trello board, it will automatically show up in the Miro frame you're working on.
