Automate Trello Card Creation from Slack Reactions

Stay organized by converting important Slack messages into Trello tasks as soon as your team reacts to them. This workflow saves time, reduces manual work, and keeps everyone in the loop.

Trigger Event: Slack Message Reaction

Whenever someone reacts to a message in your Slack channel, this automation is activated. It captures the message, the reaction used, and all the important details needed for the next steps.

Actions

1. Extract Message and Reaction Details

The workflow first gathers and organizes information from the Slack reaction event. This includes the original message text, the user who posted it, the reaction emoji, and a link to the message. This ensures your Trello card contains everything you need.

2. Create Trello Card

Next, a new Trello card is added to your chosen board and list. The card includes the username from Slack as its name, along with the essential message and reaction details, ensuring nothing is lost in the transition.

3. Send Slack Confirmation Message

To keep your team informed, a confirmation message is automatically sent back to your Slack channel. This lets everyone know the Trello card has been created, boosting transparency and teamwork.

Benefits

This template saves you from duplicating manual tasks—no need to copy-paste messages from Slack to Trello. Important discussions are easily tracked on Trello, and your team is kept in the loop with instant feedback via Slack. Finally, it enhances team collaboration and makes task tracking effortless.
