HOW TO “PIN” TO YOUR TRELLO MEAL PLANNING BOARD
1 You need your Trello meal planning board set up – you can see how to set it up here or just copy mine from the Ultimate Trello Board List above. Mine looks like this:
SET UP ZAPIER TO PINTEREST
Trigger- Trigger App = Pinterest
- Trigger = New Pin
- Connect your Pinterest account
- Choose board
SET UP ZAPIER TO TRELLO
Action- Action App = Trello
- Trello Action = Create Card
- Connect Trello
- Set up Trello Card

MATCH UP THE PIN WITH THE TRELLO CARD
Basically, here Zapier is asking you to match up the parts of the Pinterest pin to the right parts of the Trello card. Click the box on the right with the lines and plus sign, then scroll through the items to match them up.
- Name (Metadata Article Name or if it’s blank, use Note)
- Description (Link)
- Label (Red)
- Custom Labels (I typed Pinterest Zap)
- File Attachment (Image)
- Checklist Name (I typed Shopping List instead of choosing something)
- Checklist Items (Metadata Recipe Ingredients Ingredients Name) **this will only work if your pin showed the list of ingredients on it)


CHECK YOUR TRELLO MEAL PLANNING BOARD FOR THE RECIPE
Here is how our recipe looks now that it’s in Trello:
WHAT TO DO AFTER
- Click the Pinterest link in the description to go to the recipe
- Copy and paste the ingredients and steps from the recipe into the description
- Add labels
- Drag to the proper list on your meal planning board
- If you’re OCD like I am, I usually copy a different picture. One that shows just the dish and is more horizontal than vertical.
Great post. I recently started using Trello, and your posts helped a lot!
