Dislcaimer: Crmble approached me about their product and helping them market it, but it was my idea to write about it on here and share it with you all because it’s truly an amazing tool!

Many of us are using Trello to manage several aspects of our lives, including our businesses. You might remember me writing about building the ultimate CRM workflow in Trello on the Trello blog. While that was a solution and did the job, it wasn’t perfect, and still required a lot of work to set up and maintain. 

Apparently I wasn’t the only one trying use Trello to solve my CRM woes. Crmble heard the Trello user’s cries and created a power-up to turn your Trello board into a CRM. They recently approached me and told me about their product, why they came up with it, and their vision for the product. 

I immediately saw the value, as one who has had multiple requests from people who wanted to manage their contacts inside Trello. And I’ve also seen many of us here in the Atlassian community posting about finding hacks and workarounds for making Trello work with our other CRM tools to building a process that worked smoothly. 

So, without further ado, I introduce to you … Crmble: the easy peasy Trello CRM.

Not only does it set up your board lists in a CRM model, but it also adds custom fields to each of your cards to organize your contact info, syncs with gmail and google drive to make sure contact information and documents are all up to date, and it gives you an amazing report of your sales pipeline - all within your Trello board.

Go add it to your boards (it’s free), and the onboarding wizard will guide you through exactly how it works. 

Would love to hear what you all think about it, and I’ve been chatting with this company and have their ear right now and they’re really interested in user feedback, so if you’re interested in helping shape the future of this power-up, I know they’d really love your help.

@Brittany Joiner this looks great, I've been using Trello as an informal CRM for ever, and it really hits the sweet spot but always lacked that "database" side of things; ie. reporting and things like "show me a list of customers I spoke with in 2018 but didn't hear from since" kind of thing.

I should reach out to the Crmble folks and tell them about BenkoBoard/BenkoDesk because combining CRM and reporting etc. with the ability to email directly from Trello cards is pretty sweet ;)

Hi, I have been using CRMBLE for the last 9 months, all was great until recently. We have been experiencing major issues from card data vanishing, Toppings (FB, G Forms) not syncing, card duplications etc. Is anyone else experiencing the same issues?
