Notion and Trello, ready to switch on
A card in the Trello list you choose becomes an item in your Notion database and back again, with comments, due dates and the person who owns it travelling with them. 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 a database item | Trello to Notion | Within seconds | Card name, description and due date, with the Trello list written into a status property |
| Item becomes a card | Notion to Trello | Within seconds | In the list you pick, with the page link on the back of the card |
| Moving and status | Both ways | Within seconds | A card moved to another list changes the property, and changing the property moves the card |
| Labels | Trello to Notion | When one is added | Matched to a select property by name, because a colour means nothing outside Trello |
| Comments both ways | Both ways | Within seconds | With the author, so a conversation started on the card can finish on the page |
How to set up Notion and Trello
A few minutes of your time, then it's ours.
- Choose Notion 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 Notion integration secret and the Trello key and token
- Notion integration secret: open notion.so/my-integrations, press New integration, choose Internal and give it a name. Full Notion 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 eight minutes for both. - We check both keysEach key is checked against Notion'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 page, then we switch it onA minute or two. Create a page in Notion, 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 Notion 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 Notion 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.
We use Trello labels a lot. Do they come across?
Labels map to a Notion select property you name. Colours don't travel, so we match on the label's text and set the property to the same word.
Do Trello due dates survive the trip?
Yes, into the date property you nominate. If your database has no date property, we add nothing and the date lives on in Trello, because inventing properties in somebody's workspace is rude.
Anything to know about Notion?
An integration only sees the pages and databases you have connected it to, so a database nobody shared with it stays invisible even to a valid key.
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.
