Get started with Trello (Beta)

The Trello integration for Miro enhances collaboration by enabling seamless two-way synchronization between Miro boards and Trello cards. Easily import, view, and edit cards without switching between tools, ensuring your workflows stay up to date. This integration is designed to improve card management, making it easier for teams to stay aligned and productive.

⚠️ Administrators may need to authorize Trello integration for their Miro team. Team members can use the Trello integration only if it's installed at the team level.

Authorize and synchronize the Trello account

Before installing the Trello integration, ensure you have an active Miro and Trello account. If you do not have a Miro account, sign up here.

1. Open a Miro board.
2. In the Creation bar, select Tools > Media & Integrations (+).
3. Search for Trello (Beta).
4. Click Connect to authorize the Trello integration and follow the instructions.

Once connected, you'll see a message that your account is being synchronized. This process can take from several minutes up to several hours.

Once synchronized, you'll receive an email saying that your Trello account sync is complete.

Import and use Trello cards

After Miro is connected and synchronized to your Trello account, you can add Trello cards to your Miro boards:

1. Open a Miro board.
2. In the Creation bar, select Tools > Media & Integrations (+).

3. Search for Trello (Beta).

   The Trello card picker will appear, allowing you to filter cards by List, Board, and Label.

4. Select cards to import, and they will appear as Trello Card Widgets on your Miro board.

✏️ The picker will display only those cards that you have access to within Trello. If a Miro user opens the source page of a card to which they don't have access, they will see an inaccessible message.

Edit Trello cards

To edit Trello cards on a Miro board:

1. Click a Trello card widget to open the context menu.
2. Click the side panel icon.
   This opens a side panel with card details.
3. Edit card properties directly in Miro, and then click Update.
   Changes will be reflected in Trello.

Manage Trello cards

When you import Trello cards to Miro, you can manage them in various ways.

Organize cards in Miro tools

Use tools like Table, Timeline, Columns, or User story mapping to organize Trello cards:

1. Import Trello cards to your Miro board.
2. Drag and drop the Trello cards into your chosen tool. For example, a Table.
3. Rearrange Trello cards as needed to reflect your team's workflow or card status.

Open the original Trello card

You can quickly navigate to the full card in Trello:

1. Click on a Trello card widget to open the detail view.
2. In the detail view, locate and click the Source icon.
3. The card will open in a new browser tab in the Trello interface.

Alternatively, click the Source icon in the Card details side panel. 

Switch between detail views

Choose how you prefer to view card details in Miro:

1. Click a Trello card widget.
2. The card opens in a side panel detail view by default.
3. Click the Switch view icon to open the card in a modal window instead of the side panel.

To return to the side panel, click Switch view again.

Change a card's color

Color-coding cards can help visually distinguish priority or status:

1. Select the Trello card you want to recolor.
2. In the context menu, click the Fill color icon.
3. Select the desired color from the palette.

Create action shortcuts

You can create action shortcuts to:

• Open the Trello card picker.
• Create a new Trello card.

Frequently asked questions

• Which Trello users can utilize the Trello integration within Miro? Only authorized users who are part of the Miro team or organization where the board is hosted can use the Trello integration. Additionally, these users must possess the necessary permissions within Trello itself to interact with the cards.
• Who can see the Trello cards once they are imported into a Miro board? Any user with access to the Miro board (i.e., those with view, comment, or edit permissions for the board) can view the imported Trello data. Importantly, users do not require Trello authorization or a Trello license to simply view the imported card data displayed on the Miro board.
• Why is the Trello integration currently in a Beta phase, and what does this mean for security? The "Beta" status indicates that the user experience is still under active development and refinement. Miro is actively seeking feedback from users to enhance the integration. From a security standpoint, security remains a paramount concern for Miro, even for Beta features. The Trello integration Beta has successfully undergone a security review by the Miro security team, adhering to Miro's internal security guidelines.
• Can I access or view Trello cards through the Miro integration if I do not have direct access to them in Trello? No, each user interacts with the Trello integration using their individual Trello account. This means that users can only search for, import, or edit Trello cards within Miro in accordance with the permissions they already hold within the Trello system. However, once cards are imported onto a Miro board, they become visible to all other users who have access to that specific Miro board.
