How it works

Turn your Trello boards into custom apps that can be accessed and updated by your clients, team, partners, and other users — without paying for additional Trello seats. Once connected, Zite can read and update boards, lists, and cards. By connecting Trello, you can:
  • Create, update, and close Trello boards from your Zite app
  • Display boards as charts, graphs, and other views in your Zite app
  • Create, update, and move lists between boards
  • Set app triggers to move cards between lists or boards
  • Pull tasks, statuses, or project info from your board into your app
  • Manage checklists, comments, and attachments on a card

How to sync data to Trello

1

Connect to Trello

In the chat box, request your app to be integrated with Trello or click the plug icon  on the top right. Then, sign in to your account.

Enter use case

Tell Zite how you want to use Trello in your app and include the name of the board you’d like to use. For example, we have a Trello board managed by our engineering team. We’d like to give other teams a way to propose new releases without giving them access to the Trello board.

Test

Be sure to test the app to ensure everything’s working properly. In this case, we’ll check if the releases display in our Trello board
