About Trello

Trello is a visual project management and collaboration platform that uses an intuitive Kanban-based system built around boards, lists, and cards. Teams use Trello to organize and track work, from software development sprints and marketing campaigns to personal task management and team workflows.

The Trello API enables developers to:

• Authenticate using API Key and Token or OAuth 2.0 with secure authorization flows.

• Query boards, lists, and cards with filters, custom fields, labels, and attachments.

• Create or update cards with typed properties including checklists, members, due dates, and power-ups.

• Manage automation rules and custom workflows across boards.

• Subscribe to changes through webhooks for real-time synchronization across tools.

Why Integrate Trello with Emergent

Connecting Trello directly often requires setting up API clients, managing OAuth flows, mapping card properties, handling webhooks, dealing with rate limits, and building a complete user interface. Each integration can quickly turn into a lengthy engineering project.

Emergent removes that complexity:

• Build by prompt: Describe the Trello app you want and the boards you need. Emergent automatically scaffolds the UI, orchestration, data models, and integrations.

• Property-aware mapping: Emergent understands Trello's card properties, custom fields, labels, checklists, and attachments, helping you map fields accurately across integrations.

• Secure by design: Features include encrypted key vaults, environment isolation, role-based access, and audit-friendly logs, making it suitable for teams with strict data handling requirements.

• Real-time workflows: Webhooks, retries, backoff, caching, batching, and error handling are built in for reliability and consistency.

• Orchestrate multiple tools: Combine Trello with Slack, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Asana, and Airtable to build complete systems such as project hubs, CRM pipelines, sprint dashboards, and content calendars.

How Emergent Works with Trello in Real Time?

STEP 1: Describe your app

Example: "Build a sprint management hub that syncs Trello boards with Slack for daily standup updates, tracks task progress in Google Sheets, and automatically moves cards when Salesforce deals close."

STEP 2: Declare integrations

Say "Trello + Slack + Google Sheets + Salesforce." Emergent sets up providers, authentication, and recommended connection methods including API Key and Token or OAuth 2.0.

STEP 3: Secure credentials

Provide your Trello API Key and Token or complete OAuth 2.0 authentication. Keys are stored in an encrypted vault with environment isolation for development, staging, and production.

STEP 4: Select boards and map properties

Emergent automatically introspects your Trello workspace, including boards, lists, cards, labels, custom fields, checklists, due dates, members, and attachments.

It then guides you to map properties accurately such as card status to list position, labels to categories, due dates to deadlines, and custom fields to external tool properties.

STEP 5: Real-time and scheduled flows

Configure event triggers using Trello webhooks for card moves, label changes, or due date updates. Set up scheduled syncs or define on-demand actions such as button clicks in the app.

STEP 6: Test and preview

Run test queries, simulate webhook payloads, validate card updates and cross-board syncing, check logs, and automatically handle rate limits and retries.

STEP 7: Deploy

Deploy your app with one click, complete with versioning, monitoring, error alerts, and usage analytics. You can easily roll back or iterate on prompts.

STEP 8: Expand

Add new steps like AI-powered task summaries, sentiment analysis on comments, or enrichment workflows. Connect additional tools and integrate new boards without any rewrites.
