Overview
In this tutorial, learn how to build an integration with webMethods.io Integration that automatically creates a new Trello board for every new Asana project.
Prerequisite:
- webMethods.io Integration tenant – sign up here for a free trial if you’re new (use the advanced sign up form for more options).
- Asana account
- Trello account
Steps
- Login to your webMethods.io Integration tenant, create a new project or choose an existing one and create a blank workflow. If you need a refresher on how to get to this point, this guide can be a great introduction.
- To set up a trigger action, click on the small setting icon on the Start step and choose the Asana trigger.
Select New project as a trigger and complete the authorization – connect webMethods.io Integration with your Asana account and chose the workspace where you will create new projects.
Click Save. You should see the test trigger window.
To test your trigger, you need to perform the trigger action. Open your Asana account and add a new project:
Go back to the webMethods.io Integration workflow and click Test. You should see the output data (the project information) from the trigger which webMethods.io Integration will use to configure and test the rest of the workflow. Click Done.
- Search for the Trello connector and add it to the canvas with the drag and drop feature. This automatically connects with the trigger action.
Click on the small settings icon on the Trello connector, select Create board as action and complete the authorization – connect webMethods.io Integration with your Trello account.
Click Next.
Let’s move on with the action configuration – use the Incoming data panel to include project information received from the trigger output – drag and drop the project name in the Board name field and fill out the Description field:
Click Next and then Done.
- Finish the workflow by connecting the Trello connector to the Stop step. Don’t forget to save your workflow.
You can now run it using the play button in the right upper corner and review the result. If you have configured the workflow correctly, you should see the newly created board in your Trello workspace:
Now every time a new Asana project is created, a new Trello board will be added to your workspace. Please note that this may take some time.
- At the bottom-left corner of the screen you can find the Execution history of the workflow:
From here you can monitor the execution status and view error details if needed:
Please note that workflow execution logs must be enabled from the workflow execution settings:
