How can I embed a Trello board in Confluence?

Phil Rzewski

We've been a user of Trello for some time, and recently started an eval of Confluence for cloud and very likely will become a customer of it. One of my employees asked if it's possible to embed our Trello boards in Confluence pages for easy reference. I see this is possible with JIRA boards (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-36612) and I also know it's possible to import Trello into JIRA, but that seems a heavy & roundabout way to get what we want. Is there, or is there planned, a way to embed Trello boards directly into Confluence? Given how recently Atlassian announced their acquisition of Trello, I'm guessing the answer is "not yet... maybe someday", but I figured I'd check, & maybe someone from Atlassian will see this as a +1 for a feature request.

Hi Phil, 

Not ideal for less-technical users, but after trying a number of macros, including include-html and widgets, I got my boards to (finally) work clunkily by the basic HTML macro. 

Steps:

1. Whitelisted https://trello* in the admin panel and their CDN listed here http://help.trello.com/article/771-loading-resources-from-trellos-cdn
2. Added the regular HTML macro and manually created an iframe with 100% width and opted for 800px height
3. Used a modified public Trello board URL – I don't think this will work for non-public boards. 
   1. Trimmed off the board name down to the alphanumeric string
   2. Appended .html – there are other Trello url parameters here: http://jsfiddle.net/danlec/hmQJP/

To: <iframe src="https://trello.com/b/a1b2c3.html" frameBorder="0" width="100%" height="800"></iframe>

I'm hoping Atlassian's pending purchase of Trello means better integration down the road!
