> Boards, lists and cards. Another place work is tracked.

Boards, lists and cards. Another place work is tracked.

## Connecting

In the dashboard, open **Connectors**, find Trello and press **Connect**. The key you enter is checked against Trello before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

### What you will need

| Field | What it is |
| - | - |
| API Key | Your Trello API Key |
| API Token | Your Trello API Token |

### Getting the credential

1. Get **API Key**: Visit [https://trello.com/app-key](https://trello.com/app-key)
2. Generate **Token**: Click token link on API key page
3. Choose permissions (read/write) and expiration
4. Add both API Key and Token to connector

## Notes

* Uses API Key + Token authentication via query parameters
* Rate limited to 300 requests per 10 seconds
* Structure: Boards → Lists → Cards
* Supports webhooks for real-time updates
