Learn how to integrate Bubble.io with Trello and manage your project tasks more efficiently. Step-by-step guide on setting up Trello API and connecting with Bubble.io app.
Trello is a web-based project management tool developed by Atlassian. It uses a method known as kanban, a scheduling system originally used by Toyota in their lean manufacturing process. Trello's interface is essentially a collection of boards, each representing a project. Each board contains lists that represent different stages of the project and cards that are tasks to be completed at each stage. The cards can be moved from one list to another as they progress.

Bubble.io is a visual programming language tool meant for web-based applications. It is popularly used as a low-code/no-code platform, which enables users to build software using visual interfaces. On top of that, you can leverage APIs of popular tools to improve the capabilities of your Bubble application.
So, here is the step by step guide on how you can integrate Bubble.io with Trello, a web-based Kanban-style list-making application. This integration can help you manage your project tasks more efficiently.
First, you need a Bubble.io application to integrate with Trello:

Get started for Free button. Otherwise, log in to your Bubble.io account.After your application is ready, you need to get your Trello API key and token:
This plugin lets your application call the Trello API:
Plugins tab.Add plugins, then search for “API Connector”.Install.In this step, you will connect your Bubble.io application to Trello using the API Connector:
Plugins tab, click API Connector.Add another call.If all of your Trello API details were entered correctly, you'll see a successful API call response. Your Bubble.io application is now successfully integrated with Trello! You are ready to start pulling in relevant data from Trello into your Bubble.io application.
Now that your Bubble.io application is connected to Trello, you can use this integration to display and manipulate data from Trello:
Design tab on your Bubble.io application.Element Inspector and change the Type of content to Trello - Get Boards.Data source, click Insert Dynamic Data... and select Get data from an API.You can now control exactly how you want to display the data from Trello. For instance, you can have names of all boards from your Trello account shown on a repeating group on Bubble.io. You can also have actions create, update, or delete cards on Trello, by creating relative API calls following the process in step 4, retrieving the necessary APIs from Trello documentation.
Please note that Trello API usage is subject to Trello's own rate limit policy. You are advised to read the policy and adjust your API calls to fit within their rules. Failure to adhere to Trello's rate limits can result in temporary bans and other penalties.
Scenario: A software development team is working on an app. They use Bubble.io to develop the prototype and layout, and Trello to manage the project and tasks. When changes are made in the application on Bubble.io, they want these changes to be reflected in Trello automically for easy task tracking.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Trello
Prototype Development: The software development team uses Bubble.io to design and develop the application prototype. Each function or feature of the app is assigned to a specific team member and corresponding Trello card.
Setting Up the Integration: The team installs the Trello plugin in Bubble.io, and the API key from their Trello is used to connect the two platforms. The team will also set up workflows in Bubble.io to trigger when changes are made to the application.
Application Change Workflow: When a team member makes a change or addition to the app in Bubble.io, the workflow is automatically triggered. The information about the changes (e.g., what was changed, who made the change, when the change was made) is sent to Trello using the Trello plugin action, creating a new Trello card or updating an existing card.
Project and Task Management in Trello: The development team uses Trello to track all changes and updates to the application. The Trello board gives a clear overview of tasks and progress, helping the team to effectively manage their work. The team can also set up automatic notifications in Trello when a card is created or updated, to keep everyone updated on changes in real time.
Monitoring and Analytics: The integration allows the team to easily track the development process, the workload of each team member, and deadlines in Trello. It also provides valuable data insights into the efficiency and productivity of the team, helping to drive continuous improvement.
Benefits:
Efficiency: By automating the process of tracking app changes and updates, the team can save time and reduce the risk of errors.
Centralized Data: All project management tasks and updates are stored and managed in one place on Trello, making it easy to track and manage.
Real-time Updates: The integration ensures that all team members are aware of changes and updates immediately.
Data Insights: By tracking changes and tasks in Trello, the team can gain valuable insights into its productivity and performance.
By integrating Bubble.io with Trello, the software development team can efficiently manage the app development process, ensuring the timely completion of tasks and ultimately delivering a high-quality application.
