Free power-ups for start & end dates

Question

Hi all,

I have a custom field for Start & End date for a given task.  I've learned that Trello doesn't integrate these customer date values into the Calendar power-up (which makes no sense and is extremely disappointing).

Is there another free solution out there, where I can insert a Start & End date into my cards and have it show up in the calendar power-up?

Thank you for your help.

If butler doesn't work you have to go for paid-power-ups!

Hello Soumyadeep,

Thank you so much for your reply.  Very nice of you to offer suggestions.

However, those recommendations are not suitable for the process problem I'm trying to resolve.

The only alternative is to purchase power-ups that would allow us the functionalities that we need.

I'm so disappointed in Trello!  Basic features such as Custom date fields not transferring over to the calendar...c'mon man!

Is there a way to better identify which power-ups are billable vs the free ones?
