Trello Card not updating with the correct due date

[Peter Stulcbauer]

I have integrated Trello into my Make scenario to create a Trello card based on input from my Freshsales Task. The Trello card is created successfully but the Due Date is set as 20 Nov 2025 23:59 (the end of the day of the execution). The due date for the Trello card when created in Make is set as 25 Jan 2026 21:30.

I have discussed this with the Make support team and they have reviewed the raw request to Trello and the return from Trello. This all indicates the correct date of 25 Jan 2026 21:30 is sent and received.

I have attached two images. One showing the dates provided to Trello for the due date and the other image showing the Trello card with the incorrect due date.

I have the raw information that I provide to an internal Trello support member if required.

This seems to be a bug in Trello not retaining the correct date or there is something else I should be setting in creation of the Trello card. 

Anyone with experience with performing this type of action to provide guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @Peter Stulcbauer 

I am both a Trello and Make "expert" so hopefully I can help here. I created a quick simulation on Make and it worked fine for me (note difference is because Make is set to a different timezone to Trello):

I would advice checking:

1. Do you have any Trello automations that are updating or moving the date? The card activity log should be able to help, look for any actions that have a small "automation" 
   
2. In the make scenario, temporarily switch out your mapped date to the {{now}} module and run it to see if the date is then correct
   
3. If you still can't get to the bottom of it, share your Make scenario and I'll take a look (if you don't want to do this on this public forum, try to find me on  LinkedIn)

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.

The card is created, and then some Make variables are set and Freshsales is updated. Then the following three router lines are skipped and the fifth router line gets those variables and sends an update in Slack. So, no further touches are made on that Trello card.

I tried your suggestion and entered {{now}} for the Trello due date. I would have expected it to have said 24 Nov 2025 16:55 and instead it shows as 24 Nov 2025 23:59. I also removed the date from the start date and it made no difference.

Thanks for the offer to help. I'll reach out to you on LinkedIn.

Hi Mike and anyone else who has this issue.

Mike suggested checking my Trello automations. Sure enough, I had two automations setting the due date to be midnight of the date the card is created.

Removed the automations and all works correctly now.

I really appreciate your help.
