Benefits and Examples of Integrating Google Chat and Trello
Benefit 1: Improved Speed of Information Sharing
By integrating Google Chat and Trello, it is possible to automatically register messages posted in Google Chat as cards in Trello. For example, previously, when important tasks or requirements were shared in Google Chat during project progress, the shared information had to be manually registered as cards in Trello. In such cases, there could be a time lag before the information is reflected in Trello. However, by adopting this integration between Google Chat and Trello, the posted content is automatically registered as a card, allowing team members to quickly check the information and smoothly move on to the next action.
Benefit 2: Prevention of Task Oversight
When registering content shared in Google Chat as cards in Trello manually, important information might get overlooked. This integration can help prevent task oversight. For example, even team leaders in environments with multiple parallel projects can recognize necessary tasks and check progress on Trello if the content posted in Google Chat is automatically registered in Trello. This can help prevent task omissions or delays, thereby improving project success rates.
Benefit 3: Improved Operational Efficiency by Reducing Manual Work
By implementing this integration and automating task registration from Google Chat to Trello, manual work can be reduced. For instance, the effort of transcribing discussions from Google Chat to Trello can be eliminated, allowing focus on other tasks. This can lead to improved operational efficiency. Additionally, it can reduce human errors such as update mistakes or incorrect entries caused by manual work.
[About Yoom]
How to Automatically Register Messages Posted in Google Chat as Cards in Trello
This can be achieved by using the Google Chat API to receive messages posted in Google Chat and the Trello API to register cards in Trello. Generally, programming knowledge is required to achieve this, but it can be easily accomplished without programming knowledge by using the no-code tool Yoom.
This process will be created in the following major steps:
Register Google Chat and Trello as My Apps
Copy the template
Set up the Google Chat trigger as the starting point of the flow, followed by the Trello operation settings
Turn on the trigger button and verify the integration operation between Google Chat and Trello
If you are not using Yoom, please register for free from here. If you are already using Yoom, please log in.
Step 1: Connect Google Chat and Trello with My Apps
Register My Apps to connect Google Chat and Trello to Yoom. By registering My Apps first, automation settings become easier.
First, register My Apps for Google Chat. Click "My Apps" → "New Connection" on the left side of the Yoom screen.
An app list and search bar will be displayed as shown below, so use either to select Google Chat (OAuth).
When the following screen appears, click "Sign in with Google".
Refer to "this article" to obtain the "Client ID" and "Client Secret". After obtaining them, enter the information and click "Register" to complete the My Apps connection for Google Chat (OAuth).
Next, proceed to register My Apps for Trello. Similarly, search for Trello from the app list or use the search bar. Refer to "How to Register My Apps for Trello" to obtain the "Access Token" and "API Key". After obtaining them, enter the information and click "Add". This completes the My Apps connection for Trello.
Once both My Apps connections are complete, Google Chat and Trello will be displayed in My Apps.
Next, proceed with the settings using the Flowbot template. Log in to Yoom and click "Try it" on the banner below.
The message "Template has been copied!" will be displayed, and clicking "OK" will complete the copy.
Step 2: Set the Trigger
Next, set the trigger. Click "When a message is sent to the space".
Check the "Account information required for integration with Google Chat (OAuth)". You can freely change the title, but do not change the trigger action, and click "Next".
Next, configure the API settings. You can select the "Trigger activation interval" from intervals of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. Please note that the shortest activation interval varies depending on the plan.
Select the "Resource name of the space" from the candidates.
After setting, click "Test". If no errors occur after the test run, click "Save".
Step 3: Extract Data from Text Using AI Features
Next, use Yoom's AI to extract data from text. *AI operations are only available with the Team Plan and Success Plan. Please note that if you are on the Free Plan or Mini Plan, the operations of the flow bot you have set will result in an error. Paid plans such as the Team Plan and Success Plan offer a 2-week free trial. During the free trial, you can use restricted apps and AI features (operations).
Click "Extract data from text".
When the following screen is displayed, click "Change".
Select the conversion type corresponding to the number of characters in the text.
After selection is complete, click "Next". From "Set Details", enter the "Target Text" and "Items to Extract". Specify the text you want to extract in "Target Text" as shown in the screen below, and set the items you want to extract from the "Target Text" in "Items to Extract". *The target text field below is an example. In practice, please quote the output of the body of Google Chat.
After entering, click "Test" to display the set information in the output. Confirm that the information is displayed and click "Save".
Step 4: Set the Action
Next, set the action for Trello. Click "Create a new card".
Check the "Account information to integrate with Trello". You can freely change the title, but do not change the action. After confirming, click "Next".
Next, configure the "API connection settings". Check the red line and enter the "Key", "Token", and "Board ID". Select the "List ID" from the candidates.
Once the input is complete, scroll down the screen. The following items are set in the output with the information extracted in "Extract Data from Text Using AI Features", so select from the output and enter.
After setting, click "Test", and if "Test Successful" is displayed, click "Save".
Step 5: Verify the Automation of Google Chat and Trello
Finally, click "Turn on Trigger" to complete the automation setup.
With this, when a message is posted on Google Chat, a card will be automatically registered on Trello. Here is the template used this time.
