By Sima Team | June 8, 2025

 Typeform to Trello automation cover image

TL;DR – Convert every Typeform submission into a Trello card—complete with labels, due‑dates, and file attachments—in under 10 minutes. Use Typeform Connect (direct, zero‑code) or a 4‑step Zapier recipe for branching logic. Perfect for agencies capturing client briefs, leads, or bug reports via forms and tracking them in Trello workflows.

Why This Matters for Agencies

Prerequisites

ToolFree Plan OK?What You Need

2025 Update: Typeform's new Connect hub (launched Feb 2025) includes a native Trello integration—no third‑party required and unlimited tasks on all paid Typeform tiers.

Option 1 – Typeform Connect (5 minutes, zero code)

  1. Open Typeform "Connect". Form → Connect → Trello.

  2. Authorise Trello. Accept OAuth; choose your Trello workspace.

  3. Map fields:

    Trello FieldTypeform VariableExample
    Card title{{name}} – {{email}}"Jane Doe – jane@example.com"
    Description{{all_answers}}Full Q&A dump
    List"New Leads"
    LabelsMap question "Budget" → label set ("Urgent", "Standard")

  4. Enable file uploads. Toggle "Send files as card attachments". Works with images/docs up to 10 MB each.

  5. Test & Activate. Submit a dummy form – Card appears in Trello in under 3 seconds.

Pros / Cons

✅ Pros❌ Cons
Unlimited runs (no Zapier task cap)Only one Trello board per form
3‑click setupNo branching filters
Supports attachments & labelsCannot create checklists/sub‑cards

Option 2 – Zapier Branching (7 minutes)

Use this when you need conditional routing (e.g., "If project type = Website, send to Web Dev board; else send to Marketing board").

  1. Trigger – Typeform › New Entry.

  2. Filter – Only continue if payment_status = "paid" (skip non‑paid orders).

  3. Path A/B – Route by Question. If project_type = "Website" → Board A; else Board B.

  4. Action – Trello › Create Card. Map:

    TrelloField
    Name{{project_name}}
    Description{{long_description}}\n\nContact: {{email}}
    Due date{{desired_launch_date}}
    Members{{sales_rep_email}}

  5. (Optional) Formatter – Truncate Description. Keep under Trello's 20 k character limit.

Zap tip: Turn on Zapier's Sub‑Zap to re‑use the card‑creation step across multiple forms.

Pros / Cons

✅ Pros❌ Cons
Advanced branching & multiple boardsFree tier limited to 100 tasks/mo
Can add checklists & custom fieldsSlight 2–3 min delay on high load

What's New in 2025

FAQs

Does Typeform's native integration cost extra?

No—it's included on all paid plans. Free plan users need Zapier.

Can I attach respondent files to Trello?

Yes. Connect uploads files as attachments. Zapier path requires fetching the file_url and passing it to "Attachment URL".

How do I handle GDPR / data retention?

Use Trello's Card Delete Automation to auto‑archive cards older than 12 months.
