Create a customizable CRM for your SpreadSimple website by integrating Trello Board through Albato.

Imagine you have a website created in SpreadSimple based on Google Sheets. When a customer adds items to their cart and completes the purchase by filling out a form, a Trello card is automatically created with the order details, including customer’s information.

By setting up this integration, you can easily track orders by moving the order card through the Trello CRM funnel, adding notes, changing deadlines, and assigning a manager.

SpreadSimple website

SpreadSimple is a web application that provides a fast and easy way to create websites using data from a Google Sheet. You can also manage your content in your source Google Sheet, as any changes you make there will be immediately reflected on our website.

  • Log in to your SpreadSimple account.
  • Click the New website button.
  • Paste your Google Sheet link or choose one of the templates.
  • Customize your website design.
  • Press Publish.
  • Manage your content in your Google Sheet. The Sheet becomes the CMS and after all the changes saved they will be reflected on your website after refreshing.

In this case, the most crucial aspect is to include the Buy button, which is exclusively available to Pro subscribers. This button will enable our customers to place orders directly on the website using the Order Form.

Trello based CRM

Trello is a popular online tool for managing projects and personal tasks. It can be used for various needs, including project management.

  • Create a new Board.
  • Come up with a name for your CRM.
  • Create several columns to manage orders: New, Confirmed, In Progress, Shipped, and Canceled.

This is a sample workflow, and we encourage you to create your own set of stages that fits your business process.

As soon as a customer places an order in our e-store, we want it to be added to our CRM automatically. To do this, we use Albato.
