HTTP Trigger
Use HTTP to trigger a flow so you can respond to more events.
Goal
When a card is moved between lists in Trello, we want to update the status in FileMaker. if the card is Archived (ie closed), we want to delete the record in FileMaker.
Need a Trigger?
Trello doesn't have an update card trigger so we so we do? Luckily Trello can send webhooks and Claris connect can listen to webhooks using the HTTP Trigger. This is our first look at webhooks
- Setup the HTTP Trigger to listen for webhooks from Trello.
Trello Webhook Manager
Trello doesn't have a UI to setup webhooks so I built one with FileMaker.
- Open the Trello Webhook Manager file on your server. Credentials if you need them are:
- Username:
admin - Password:
admin
- Follow the instructions to setup the webhook. Use the URL you got from the HTTP Trigger setup.
Test it so far
- edit a Card in Trello
- explore the Connect flow and flow history to see the data that is passed in the webhook
Build the flow
We want our flow to do the following:
- Listen for the webhook from Trello (already done)
- Create a new record in FileMaker if it doesn't exist
- Update the record in FileMaker with the card data
- If the card status is now closed, delete the record
