How to connect Google Forms to Trello
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Google Forms account
- An active Trello account
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Google Forms
Click "Add Connection" and select Google Forms from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Google Forms's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your form responses and submission data. The integration reads new submissions in real-time.
- Step 03
Authenticate Trello
Same process for Trello. Click "Add Connection," select Trello, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new response submitted in google forms or new item created in trello. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create item in trello. Map the data fields between Google Forms and Trello so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Google Forms and Trello. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Google Forms to Trello?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Google Forms and Trello via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing surveys & forms events to productivity actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Google Forms and Trello?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Google Forms events to Trello actions, trigger Trello updates when Google Forms data changes, create Trello records from Google Forms events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Google Forms and Trello integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your Google Forms-to-Trello workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Google Forms data secure when connected to Trello?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Google Forms or Trello passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your surveys & forms data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Google Forms and Trello?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Google Forms or Trello. For example, create a workflow where Google Forms events update Trello, and a separate one where Trello changes sync back to Google Forms. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Google Forms and Trello?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Google Forms and Trello, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
