How to create a new folder in Google Drive for a newly created Trello list

How to create a new folder in Google Drive for a newly created Trello list

Relay.app is an automation tool that lets you automate actions across Google Drive, Trello, and many other apps. In this guide, we'll show you how to use Relay.app to automatically run the Google Drive “Create folder” action for each Trello “List added” event.

Try it in Relay.app

Trello > Google Drive

Trigger

Last triggered

List added

Create folder

1

Set the Trello trigger as "New list added"

Every playbook starts with a trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and initiates your playbook's actions.

Click "Add trigger" and select "New list added" under Trello automation. Then, select the board. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect new lists added in Trello and initiate necessary actions.

If this is your first time using a Trello integration in Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.

2

Add the "Create folder" in Google Drive automation

Integrate the Google Drive automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of a new folder for each new list added to the Trello list.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Create folder" automation for Google Drive and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Google Drive account isn't already connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Google Drive account.

3

Activate your Relay.app playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the creation of a new folder in Google Drive. Once turned on, it will respond to a new list added to the Trello board by creating a corresponding folder in Google Drive without manual intervention.

To enable your playbook, click the toggle button located in the header. It is advisable to perform a test run of your playbook beforehand to ensure all steps work seamlessly together and reminders are being sent correctly.
