Trello is a visual collaboration tool that gives teams a shared perspective on any project. It allows you to list out tasks related to a specific project and move them through different stages of completion in a visual and collaborative way. When you are working in Trello, you may want to export your entire project into a Google Sheet to edit and view it. It's easy to do and automate with IFTTT.
Here are the # methods we'll cover for exporting Trello to Google Sheets:
Automated:
- Sync Trello & Google Sheets with IFTTT [5 minutes]
Non-Automated:

IFTTT stands for "If This Then That." It is an easy-to-use automation tool that allows you to transfer data between 750+ services online. In this instance, it allows you to connect and transfer data between Trello and Google Sheets. With IFTTT you can easily export Trello into Google Sheets and vice versa. The best thing about IFTTT is it is a no-code tool. That means you don't need to understand code to edit and create automations. All you need to do is drag and drop the triggers and actions you want to happen.
