monday.com and Trello, ready to switch on
A Trello card becomes an item on the monday.com board you choose, moving the card changes the column values you mapped, and an item created in monday.com comes back as a card. You paste two keys in your account and we switch it on for you.
No setup fee, cancel any month, and a person on live chat if a key doesn't work.

What moves, and when
The details you would normally get after a sales call. Here they are up front.
| What | Direction | When | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Card becomes an item | Trello to monday.com | Within seconds | On the board you choose, with the card name and the Trello list mapped to your status column |
| Item becomes a card | monday.com to Trello | Within seconds | In the list you name, carrying your date column across as the due date |
| Column values | monday.com to Trello | When they change | The columns you map are written onto the card as its list, its date or a label |
| Subitems | monday.com to Trello | Within seconds | Added as checklist items on the card rather than as cards of their own |
| One item, one card | Both ways | Every change | Matched by an id we store on both sides, so nothing doubles when two people work at once |
How to set up monday.com and Trello
A few minutes of your time, then it's ours.
- Choose monday.com and TrelloPress Connect. This pair is already selected on the checkout page at $39 a month, and there's nothing else to pick.
- Pay and open your accountCard or invoice, about two minutes. The account opens with this integration waiting for its two keys.
- Paste the monday.com API token and the Trello key and token
- monday.com API token: in monday.com press your profile picture in the top right and select Developers. The Developer Center opens in a new tab. Full monday.com guide
- Trello key and token: open trello.com/power-ups/admin and press New. Give the Power-Up a name, pick your workspace and create it. Full Trello guide
Each screen carries the full guide with the exact menu names, about six minutes for both. - We check both keysEach key is checked against monday.com's and Trello's own API the moment you paste it. If one doesn't pass, the screen says what to fix, and a person joins the chat if that isn't enough.
- Create one test item, then we switch it onA minute or two. Create a item in monday.com, watch its twin appear in Trello, then close one and watch the other close. A person checks the setup and switches it on, within a working day.
When monday.com or Trello changes its API, we fix it within a working day. You don't get a ticket to solve.
- Everything in the table above, with monitoring on.
- Fixes when either app changes its API.
- A person on live chat, weekdays 10:00 to 19:00 EET.
- Custom logic beyond the table is priced separately.
What it will cost once you can switch it on yourself. While we're in beta we connect it by hand and don't charge for it.
Ways to connect monday.com and Trello
Two ways people connect these two, and what each one asks of you.
Before you decide
Which one is the source of truth?
Neither, and that is why the loop guard matters. Each team works where it prefers, and the twin follows. If you would rather one side be read-only, say so and we set it that way.
Do subtasks and checklists come across?
The top level does, with title, dates and assignee. Subtasks and checklists differ so much between these two that we treat them as a custom job rather than pretending they map cleanly.
Which monday.com columns get filled?
The ones you point at while connecting. monday.com addresses columns by id rather than by name, so we map them once and renaming a column later changes nothing.
Do we have to rebuild our board first?
No. We read the columns you already have and map them to the Trello fields, so the board keeps its shape. The only thing we add is a column holding the id that ties an item to its card.
What happens to a Trello card with no due date?
The item is created without a date rather than with today's. An empty date column is honest; a made-up one quietly ruins a timeline view a week later.
Anything to know about monday.com?
The API is GraphQL and priced by complexity, so a big backfill arrives in steps rather than all at once, while day to day changes are immediate.
Anything to know about Trello?
The token belongs to the member who created it, so cards appear as created by that person, and the connection stops if they leave the workspace.
What if mine is a bit different?
Tell us what should go where in plain words. Small changes to the rules above are usually free; bigger ones we price within a working day and build into the same account.
