Trello is a widely used tool for managing projects, offering features that enable you to arrange your tasks and work together with team members. That said, it can sometimes be challenging to monitor all your tasks when they’re spread across various platforms. Luckily, options exist for synchronizing Trello with Apple Calendar, simplifying the process of managing your tasks and keeping everything orderly.
Step 1: Connect Your Trello Account to Zapier
The first step in syncing Trello with Apple Calendar is to connect your Trello account to Zapier. Zapier is a tool that allows you to automate tasks between different apps and services. To do this, go to the Zapier website and sign up for an account if you don’t already have one.
Connecting Your Trello Account
- Click on “Make a Zap!” in the top right corner of the screen.
- Select “Trello” as your trigger app and choose the trigger that you want to use. For example, you could choose “New Card” or “Card Updated”.
- Connect your Trello account by entering your login information.
- Select the board and list that you want to monitor for changes.
- Click on “Continue” to move on to the next step.
Connecting Your Apple Calendar Account
- Select “Apple Calendar” as your action app and choose the action that you want to take. For example, you could choose “Create Event”.
- Connect your Apple Calendar account by entering your login information.
- Enter the details of the event that you want to create in Apple Calendar. This could include the title, date and time, location, and description.
- Click on “Continue” to move on to the next step.
Step 2: Test Your Zap
Once you have set up your Zap, it’s important to test it to make sure that everything is working correctly. To do this, go back to Trello and create a new card or update an existing one with the trigger that you selected in step 1.
Testing Your Zap
- Go to your Trello board and create a new card or update an existing one with the trigger that you selected in step 1.
- Wait for a few minutes to see if the event is created in Apple Calendar. If it is, then your Zap is working correctly.
- If the event is not created in Apple Calendar, check your settings and make any necessary adjustments.
Step 3: Monitor Your Trello Board
Now that you have set up your Zap and tested it, you can start monitoring your Trello board for changes. Any time a new card is created or an existing one is updated with the trigger that you selected in step 1, an event will be created in Apple Calendar.
Monitoring Your Trello Board
- Go to your Trello board and create a new card or update an existing one with the trigger that you selected in step 1.
