Adding multiple cards including descriptions at once

Question

Hi.

I’ve been trying to find the answer to this elsewhere, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Hope you can help.

I have a spreadsheet with all the input for my cards. It is above 70 unique cards to be made. And I have the cards’ descriptions in there as well.

How do I put in all cards including their descriptions, without me going into each card to add the descriptions manually card by card? I know how to insert multiple cards at once, but how do I get the cards’ descriptions in there as well?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Martin Dalskov

I don't know if this is too late for you but maybe someone else who needs this will see this. I was looking for a good solution to the problem of importing CSV or Excel files into Trello and couldn't find one. So, we decided to build one. Our free Trello Import Power-Up is now live, give it a go and let me know any feedback you have :)

Cheers,

Hi @Martin Dalskov ! Welcome to the community :)  are you looking for a one-off import, or an ongoing sync between your spreadsheet and Trello? Are you using Gsheets, Excel, or something else? Unito has an integration with GSheets and Trello so you can create either a one-off import or ongoing 1-way or 2-way sync. You can map the necessary fields you need to sync over (title, description, dates, status, etc.) with the relevant Trello fields.

Please read https://help.trello.com/article/751-importing-data-into-trello#:~:text=Copy%20Paste%20%2D%20When%20you%20paste,card%20in%20a%20Trello%20list.

Or you can write a script using Trello API to handle this.
