Practical ways you can use Trello and Things
Transfer new Trello tasks to Things
When a new task is added as a Trello card, Zapier will automatically transfer it to your Things Inbox as a to-do. This ensures business owners can manage both collaborative and personal tasks seamlessly, eliminating manual entry and saving time.
Business Owner
Sync archived cards to Things for tracking
When a Trello card is archived, Zapier creates a to-do in Things. This allows IT teams to track completed or archived tasks in a separate system for easier auditing and task reconciliation, enhancing operational accuracy.
ITLog checklist items as Things to-dos
When a new checklist item is created on a Trello card, Zapier sends it to Things as a to-do. Project managers can centralize task tracking and reduce the chance of forgetting smaller tasks, improving productivity and accountability within teams.

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Trello and Things
How can I set up an integration between Trello and Things?
To integrate Trello with Things, you'll first need accounts with both applications. Once you have that, use our platform to create a Zap that connects them by choosing Triggers and Actions that fit your workflow.
Which Triggers should I use for syncing tasks from Trello to Things?
Consider using triggers such as 'New Card' or 'Card Moved to List' in Trello. These can automatically create tasks in Things whenever a card is created or moved.
Can I update Trello cards from within Things?
Yes, you can set up an Action where completing a task in Things updates the corresponding Trello card. For example, move the card to a 'Completed' list when the task is marked complete.
What should I do if the integration isn't working as expected?
Ensure that all settings are correctly configured, and both applications are authorized within our platform. Verify that the chosen Triggers and Actions match what you need for your workflow.
Can I trigger specific actions in Things based on labels added in Trello?
Absolutely. By setting up a Zap Trigger based on adding specific labels to cards in Trello, you can create corresponding tasks or modify existing ones in Things.
Are there any limitations when integrating with Things?
Currently, not all attribute changes in either application trigger actions due to API limitations. It's best to test specific triggers related to your needs.
