Before you start
- A Trello account and target board.
Step-by-step
- 1
Get a key and token
From the Trello developer portal, obtain an API key and authorize a token scoped to the boards you need.
- 2
Connect
Integrations → Trello → Connect and paste the key, token, and Board ID.
Security best practices
- Authorize the token for the minimum boards and the shortest practical lifetime.
- Both the key and token are stored encrypted.
- Credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM — they are never stored in plain text.
- Only organization owners and admins can create or modify a connection.
- Prefer OAuth where available: it issues short-lived, scoped, revocable tokens instead of long-lived secrets.
- When you must use a token, create a fine-grained, least-privilege token and rotate it periodically.
