Using Trello to stay organized and manage your workflow
Setup
Register
Head over to Trello and create an account.
Get API Keys
https://trello.com/power-ups/admin Go to the Power Ups Admin Panel and create a new power up.
After you create a power up, go to the API Key section and generate a token.
Paste the API Key and Token in your .env file.
TRELLO_KEY=[API KEY]
TRELLO_TOKEN=[TOKEN]
Create a board and list
Navigate back to the Trello dashboard and create a new board as well as at least one list named “Queue”.
Get board and list IDs
While on your board, you will have a URL similar to to the following: https://trello.com/b/[board-id]/[board-name].
Using the board-id, API key, and token, run this API call in your browser:
https://api.trello.com/1/boards/[YOUR BOARD-ID]/lists?key=[YOUR API KEY]&token=[YOUR TOKEN]
This will return details about the lists within the your board. Copy the ID of the list you have named “Queue” and paste it into your .env file:
TRELLO_QUEUE=[QUEUE ID]
Usage
With the setup complete, the support modal form will take submissions and send them to the “Queue” list within your Trello board. You can use this board to stay organized while managing user requests.
