Example

Example workflow

A realistic scenario showing task, time, and outcome.

In this scenario, a product manager submits a request via Slack to create a Trello card for the Q3 roadmap. The agent parses the request, creates a card titled 'Q3 Roadmap Review', places it in the 'Backlog' list on the 'Projects' board, assigns the PM, adds labels 'Roadmap' and 'Priority: High', sets due date to 2026-05-15, attaches the request summary, and posts a notification with a link to the card. The result is a ready-to-work item on Trello within 60 seconds, visible to the team.

FAQ

FAQ

Common questions about using this AI agent.

You provide at minimum a title and target board/list. Optional fields include description, due date, labels, and assignees. The AI agent validates required fields and uses defaults when missing. It will not create a card without essential information.

Yes. You can specify target board, list, and labels; the agent maps inputs to Trello fields and applies defaults when needed. You can override label sets per request. It supports multiple labels when you provide them.

The agent is designed to create new cards from requests and attach the appropriate fields. It can update comments or attach files if configured, but it does not replace or delete existing cards by default. Changes are logged for auditing. You can configure limits to prevent unintended edits.

Due dates can be provided directly in the request or assigned a default offset (for example, 3 days from creation). If a date is invalid or missing, the agent applies a configured fallback date. You can adjust the default rules at any time. The resulting due date is stored on the created card and surfaced in notifications.

Yes. If attachments or checklist items are supplied, the agent adds them to the new card. It supports multiple attachments and a checklist with defined steps. Each item in the checklist is linked to the card for quick progress tracking. If files exceed size limits, you may need to re-upload manually.

Access is governed by your Trello and collaboration tool permissions. The AI agent runs within your authenticated workspace and only interacts with boards and lists you authorize. Data is logged for auditing and can be restricted by role. If needed, you can disable external notifications and limit data exposure.

You can pause automation at any time from the admin settings or by disabling the integration trigger. When paused, requests are queued but no new cards are created. Notifications are suppressed while paused. Re-enabling resumes card creation with the same configuration and defaults.
