If you track anything in Trello beyond a card name and a description, you've probably found it messy to keep everything organized and consistent. The info is scattered, half the fields get filled out and half don't, and there's no real consistency. You might have tried use Trello's custom fields and made some progress, but…

I'm not sure what got it stuck in my head, but for some reason this week I could not stop thinking about how to schedule comments in Trello. You know, sometimes you're late-night updating Trello boards, but don't want to send notifications to everyone at off hours. (Just me burning the midnight Trello candle?) And I didn't…

Trello just introduced a new feature, and if you're wondering why I'm writing about it over here, it's because this one is all about JIRA ✨ I made this video explaining how it works, but keep reading for screenshots and step by step guide to try it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHI6iILHp3s If you've ever wanted to…

Today's tip is all about working smarter not harder in Trello. If you have something that you want to happen anytime a card moves into another list in the Trello board, you might think you need to set up a rule for each list. For instance, apply x checklist when a card moves into New Leads, and another rule for apply x…

I have seen a handful of questions over the years with folks looking for Trello consultants, so I wanted to make one roundup post with the answer I found and people who chimed in across all those questions! Of course, you're always free to post in the community and ask for advice and your questions and there's never a…

I've had a handful of folks ask about this recently, and I figured out a way to collapse all the checklists or none of them, but realized it would actually be most useful if you could collapse individual ones and keep track of that. I don't know of any Power-Ups or anything that does it, and i couldn't think of anything to…

I like doing most things in Trello, but my biggest gripe is that checklist items are so close to being ✨absolutely amazing✨ but also not quite there yet. One of the things that would make it incredibly useful is to have a way to view all your checklist items. I'm going to show you a few ways this is possible natively in…

I've been seeing a lot of posts lately about folks being unable to find their Trello cards, so I wanted to create one post here that I can reference for folks (and update as I get new ideas). I'm also planning to share in my Trello newsletter on Thursday, so if you want to subscribe to weekly tips and tricks in Trello,…

Ah the age old debate... and something that many of you might be surprised to see me, Britt Joiner, the Trello queen, even considering a conversation about. At Team24, I spent a lot of time at the Trello booth, and almost every single person who stopped by said "Why Trello?" or "I use Jira. Why should I use Trello?" I've…

You might have seen some new updates in Trello lately, such as the ability to add Jira issues to your board (heya Jiramigos, welcome to the dark side), and card mirroring, so you can see your card in multiple places without having to build all sorts of automation. @Mike - Dreamsuite Consulting and I were so excited about…

Happy "circle back in the new year" time to those who celebrate! 🎉 This time of year, I love to reflect on the past year and plan for the next. Like many of us who are productivity and organization enthusiasts haha. Of courseeee I have a Trello board for this (you're not shocked, I know). I found a great annual review and…

In case you missed it, the Trello Trailblazers and Atlassian Community Events hosted a Show and Trello event where a few community leaders stepped up the mic and shared their favorite Trello boards for personal use cases. But don't worry—we made sure to record so everyone can join in on the Trello magic! Watch the replay…

I'm toying around with a product roadmap Trello board, and I would love to have a list where people can submit their ideas for features (and as far as I know, the only way to do that is to make it public and share the public invite to join the board, and then after they join they can create a card). And THEN, only be able…

Ever work really hard on your Trello boards and someone (they always have the best of intentions) messes up something by moving a card in the wrong place, archiving a list, or even joining boards where they're not wanted needed? 🤦‍♀️ I get asked a lot of questions about controlling access and roles and preventing people…

I'm no accountant, and I don't sell any physical products, but I still found myself in need of a way to keep track of inventory. How? It all started with Paprika. Since getting a camper earlier this year, I've spent a good amount of time stocking things up in there so I don't have to bring so many things back and forth…

Hiya Trell-homies! In case you didn't know it, I wrote a book about Trello! And for Christmas in July, I'm hosting a book club 🎉 This book club will be a guided discussion of my Trello book, Supercharging Productivity with Trello. Here's how it works: * There's no cost to join! Just share a screenshot of the receipt…

Hey folks! Saw someone asking on Reddit about how to add a newly created card as a checklist item in another list. Took me a second to figure it out, but I realize with Butler rules it was totally possible! They then wanted to try to figure out how to also check off that item as complete when the card was completed - and…

Starting April 8th, you won't be able to add new members to your free workspace if you're over the 10 collaborator limit. Based on this thread, there's still a lot of questions about what that means. Join me and @Mike - Dreamsuite Consulting as we're going live Monday, April 8th, and 9am EST/8am CST and talking about these…

I've seen a lot of questions around here lately about how Trello pricing works. And you all know I'm the biggest Trello fan ever, but I'll be the first to admit it can be a bit confusing. I made this video to help break down the differences between the plans, and a simplified way to determine how many users you'll need to…

I finally did it 🎉 I wrote a book about Trello! If you know me, you're probably not surprised by this. If you are surprised, then let me introduce myself... 🙇 I'm Trello's #1 fan, a Community Leader, previous Trello Events leader, and Trello Influencer. I have a weekly newsletter where I write about Trello tips and tricks…

Hey Trello-homies! On Monday, I'm going live with @Robin Warren _Blue Cat Reports_ reviewing his report about the top growing Power-Ups of 2023. We'll look at which Power-Ups grew the most, talk about their features, demo some of them, and probably give some shout outs to our other favorite Power-Ups! Feel free to come…

As a marketer focused on conversion rate optimization, I found myself frustrated with my current process for managing tests and documenting those results. I was using Google Sheets, but realized there were a lot of limitations, specifically because there was no way to organize all the test details in a nice little box…

Hey Trello Tribe! I've got a fun end-of-the-year Trello challenge for all of us. Do any of you have some burning Trello questions? (I know you do because I see a lot of posts in this product section regularly!) Or maybe you're hoping there's a trick to doing something in Trello that you just haven't figured out yet? If…

DISCLAIMER: If you don't see this yet, I think it might be being slowly rolled out, so I suspect you'll see it soon. I also suspect it might just be a premium-only feature, so if you're on the free version you might not see this. I was in Trello and saw a banner for enabling Atlassian Intelligence, and I was shocked! I…

Update 27 September 2023 - We've decided to close this thread as there is a more recent article related to this topic. We welcome your feedback on The end of an era: bidding farewell to Trello's original theme. ------------ If you’re new to Trello, you might not have used labels yet (in which case, you’re going to want to-…

As admins, you/we get asked a lot of questions about Trello. Since I just finished writing my book about Trello, I want to create some supplementary resources to go along side of my book to giveaway to people who purchase, so I wanted to ask here and see what folks need. I can see this going a couple different ways. Ie,…

I want to apply a rule to cards that contain any of one list of things in the card (for example, apply the purple label if it contains eggs OR milk). is there a way to say that in a single butler rule? Or do i need to create a rule for each item? I tried with a comma but that didn't work - i assume it's looking at only a…

Blue Cat Reports just released a new power-up I'm obsessed with called "Forms" that lets you create a form from a modal in Trello and then map out those form fields to specific elements in your Trello card (like due dates, attachments, or custom fields!) I'll walk you through how to set this up on your boards, and then…

Hey all! I noticed something new in my Trello cards. It looks like a section to the top with a button to watch the card. Previously, I think that was just an option under the card actions. I assume the team is testing to see if this helps make it more obvious how to subscribe to notifications about a card. While that's…
