⚙️ How to Create Trello Cards from Google Tasks

Apps expect data in different formats—like dates, names, or labels. Workload’s built-in AI Wizard lets you clean or adjust data between steps. If your trigger already sends clean data, you can skip formatting altogether.

Step 1: Create a New Automation (Workload)

Start in the Workload dashboard and click Create Workflow.
