Creating a Zap with Miro
To connect Miro to other apps via Zapier, you need to have a Zapier account.
To create a Zap, click the corresponding button on the dashboard in Zapier.
Create Zap button
Zapier creates an automated workflow between apps with Triggers and Actions.
⚠️ Now Miro can work only as an Action in Zapier.
Trigger
A Trigger is an event in an app that launches the Zap. Once you set up a Zap, Zapier will monitor the app for that event. For the "Save new events in Google Calendar to Miro card widgets" example, the Zap is triggered only when a new event is created in Google calendar.
Setting a Trigger event in Zap
Action
An Action is an event that completes the Zap. In the previous example "Save new events in Google Calendar to Miro card widgets", new Miro cards will behave as an Action.
⚠️ Now Miro works only as an Action in Zapier.
Find Miro and choose one of the three Actions there: Copy board, Create board, Create card widget.
Creating your own Zap with Miro as Action
Copy board action
It's an action designed to create a copy of a particular board. You will need to select a team where the board copy will be created.
Selecting a Miro team
On the next step, choose the following parameters:
- Original board - pick a board from the team to make a copy of. You can search the board by its name or ID (e.g. o9J_rxLXasqA). If you can't find a board on the list, please try reloading the data and check once again
- Title - enter a title name for the board copy. If you leave the field blank, the board will be created with the Untitled name
- Description - enter text for the board description
- Team access - you can choose between Private, View, Comment, and Edit types of team access to the board

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to have an enterprise Zapier account to use it with Miro?
- No, it is not required. Miro integration can be built with any Zapier plan. - Where are my Zapier data stored?
- This is an official Miro maintained integration and all data storage practices in Miro apply here as well. - Do I need to be the Team Admin in Miro to set Zapier integration?
- It depends on admin settings in Miro and in Zapier. By default, even non-admin team members can set up the integration. - Do the cards (Trello, Asana, etc.) sync with cards imported into Miro boards?
- No, Zapier currently doesn't provide synchronization. For instance, if you move your Trello card from "doing" to "done", it isn't reflected on Miro's side. - I cannot link Gmail to Miro via Zapier. Why?
- Please check your email. At the moment, users with Gmail account which ends @gmail.com or @googlemail.com cannot link Gmail to Miro, as Zapier can send Gmail information to a limited number of apps.
