You need to create 2 Custom Fields :

1st custom field will be "Google Docs" - this is where you will attach the link of the Google Doc. Make sure that this link is publicly available

2nd custom field will be "Content Editor" - it need to be written "gutenberg_editor" or "classic_editor"

Step 2: Create a Zap in Zapier

Log in to Zapier: Go to Zapier and log in or create an account. Create a New Zap: Click on the "Make a Zap" button.

Step 3: Set Up the Trello Trigger

Status:

• According to your needs, you can choose "Publish" to publish the post immediately, or select "Draft" if you want to review it first. (You can add a custom field that you created on Trello to control the publication status).
• WordPress Current Editor: Click on the 3 dots and after that on "custom" and add the custom field that you created on Trello "Content Editor".

Step 5: Test Your Zap

Test the Zap: Run a test to ensure that a new card in Trello creates a post in WordPress. Check Your WordPress Site: Visit your WordPress site to confirm that the post has been published successfully.
