Telegram and Trello, ready to switch on

New cards, moves between the lists you name and comments arrive in the Telegram group you choose, and a morning message says what is due today. You paste two keys in your account and we switch it on for you.

What moves, and when

The details you would normally get after a sales call. Here they are up front.

What	Direction	When	Rule
New card	Trello to Telegram	Within seconds	Card, list, who is on it and when it's due
Moved	Trello to Telegram	Within seconds	A short line rather than a copy of the card, for the moves you name
Comments	Trello to Telegram	Within seconds	With their author, so the people who live in the chat still follow the work
Topics	Trello to Telegram	Every message	If your group uses topics, each board writes into its own
Due today	Trello to Telegram	Daily at 08:30, your time zone	The cards due and the people on them, in one message

Paste the Telegram bot token and the Trello key and token

- 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 keys

Each key is checked against Telegram'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 card, then we switch it on

A minute or two. Create a card in Trello and watch the post arrive in the chat. From then on we watch it for you. A person checks the setup and switches it on, within a working day.

When Telegram or Trello changes its API, we fix it within a working day. You don't get a ticket to solve.

$39a month

Before you decide

Can we create a card from a message?

Not in this one; it runs into the chat. If a message should become a card, describe it and we price it.

How do we keep it quiet?

Name the lists and the moves worth posting. Everything else stays on the board.

Will it work in a group with a topic per project?

Yes. Tell us which board writes into which topic and the messages arrive there. Without topics they all land in the group, which is fine for one board and busy for five.

Do we hear about a card that is overdue?

Yes, in the morning message. Anything past its date is repeated there until somebody moves the card or changes the date, which is gentler than a notification at midnight.

Can we post from more than one board?

Yes, and each board can go to its own group or its own topic. Boards that share a group end up read by nobody, which is worth avoiding before it happens rather than after.

Anything to know about Telegram?

A bot can't read messages sent before it was added to a chat, so old conversations stay where they are.

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.
