Connect formformform to Trello
Turn every form submission into a new Trello card on the list you choose, automatically.
Someone completes your formformform form.
The “New Submission” trigger fires instantly.
Your data lands where the work happens.
formformform is a form builder that drops responses straight onto your Trello boards. Instead of copy-pasting answers into a card or re-typing requests after the fact, each submission becomes a fully populated Trello card on the list you pick, the moment it arrives.
This Trello form integration runs through the published formformform Zapier app. formformform is the trigger: when someone submits your form, Zapier creates a Trello card and maps your form fields to the card's name, description, due date, labels, and members. The flow is one direction only, from form to Trello, so your boards fill themselves while your form stays exactly as built — nothing writes back into it.
Because it is all configured visually, you can connect Trello to forms without code. Build the form, point the Zap at the right board and list, match your fields to card details, and every new response lands as a clean card your team can drag through columns, label, assign, and prioritize.
Ways to use formformform with Trello
Concrete automations you can set up in minutes — no code required.
A small sales team runs its pipeline as a Trello board with a list per stage. Every website inquiry becomes a labeled card on "New leads" so reps can drag it toward "Contacted" and "Won".
A product team triages bugs on a Trello board. Submitted reports appear as cards in "Inbox" with priority labels, ready to assign a member and move to "In progress".
A recruiter manages hiring as a Trello board with a list per stage. Each application drops onto "Applied" as a card the team can review and drag through screening and interviews.
An online shop handles custom orders on a Trello board. New requests appear on "To fulfill" with a due date so ops can prioritize and move each card to "Shipped".
An events team tracks attendees as Trello cards. RSVPs populate the guest list automatically, so headcounts and special requests stay current as people sign up.
A product team collects feature requests on a Trello board. Each survey response becomes a labeled card in "Ideas" they can group and pull into the backlog during planning.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Trello integration free?+
formformform's Zapier trigger is available to use, but the connection runs on Zapier, which has its own free and paid tiers. A free Zapier plan covers basic, lower-volume Trello automations; higher submission volumes or faster speeds may need a paid Zapier plan. Trello itself works on its free and paid plans.
Does it work in real time?+
Yes. formformform provides a real-time "New Submission" trigger that fires the instant someone submits your form, so Zapier creates the Trello card right away rather than waiting on a scheduled check.
Can I map specific form fields to a card?+
Yes. In the Zap's Trello "Create Card" action you map each form field to a card detail — the card name, description, due date, labels, or members — so submissions arrive as clean, fully populated cards instead of one block of text.
Do I need to know how to code?+
No. The whole setup happens in Zapier's visual editor: pick the trigger, connect Trello, choose a board and list, and match fields to card details. There is nothing to script or deploy.
Which board and list does the new card go onto?+
You choose. During setup you connect your Trello account and select the exact board and list — your "New leads", "Inbox", "Applied", or any other list. Every submission then creates a new card on that list with the details you mapped.
Can Trello send data back into my form?+
No. The integration is one-directional: a new form submission creates a card in Trello. formformform is a trigger only, so it does not pull or read data from your boards and nothing in Trello writes back to your form.
