Connecting apps

Connect Trello

Generate a Trello API key and token pair to create and move cards from automations.

Trello connections use an API key + token pair tied to a Trello power-up.

Get the key and token

  1. Go to trello.com/power-ups/admin.
  2. Click New to create a power-up (any name; it stays private to you) and click Create.
  3. On the power-up's API Key page, click Generate a new API key.
  4. Copy the API Key — this goes in Tyrbo's API Key field.
  5. On the right side of the same page, find "you can manually generate a Token" and click the Token link. Do not use the Secret field below the API key — that's for OAuth signatures, not this.
  6. Authorize the app and copy the generated token — this goes in Tyrbo's Token field.

Paste both into Tyrbo

Choose a Trello action (Create Card, Update Card) or trigger (New Card, Card Moved to List), click New connection, and fill API Key and Token.

Notes

  • The token acts as your Trello user; boards you can see, it can see.
  • Board and list ids for step fields are easiest to grab from a board URL (trello.com/b/<boardId>/…) or the trigger's output.
