Start with one real question and leave with a next step.
Start with the question in front of you, then use the guide to make the next decision easier.
Try saying
“I am trying to make this decision. What should I look at first?”
Start with context
Bring the smallest useful example.
Look for the signal
Separate what is known from what is assumed.
Take one step
Choose an action you can review.

What this connection is for
Bring board cards and delivery context into the same loop as product evidence.
How your data reaches Specky
Specky pulls from Trello on a schedule. A sync runs when you open your workspace if the data is stale, and you can also start one by hand from the integration card.
Before you start
- API Key (Required) — Generate it from your Trello Power-Up's API Key page.
- User Token (Required) — The token paired with the API key. It is encrypted and never shown after connecting.
- Board ID (Required) — The ID from your Trello board URL or board settings.
- Default List ID (optional) (Optional) — Cards are created in this open list. Leave blank to use the first open list on the board.
Setup
Open Settings → Integrations, find Trello, and click Connect. The form will tell you what to paste and where to find it.
Create credentials
- Open Trello Power-Ups and open the API Key tab for your Power-Up.
- Copy the API key, then click the token link beside it to create a user token.
- Copy the board ID from the board URL or board settings.
- In Specky, open Settings → Integrations → Trello and paste the three values.
Data synced
| Data | Used for |
|---|---|
| Cards, descriptions, labels, due dates, and lists | Delivery context and feature evidence |
| Closed/open state and last activity | Execution health and prioritization |
Specky imports the selected board and can create or update cards from the Tickets view and Execution Bridge. New cards use the configured list, or the first open list when no list ID is supplied. Specky does not archive or move cards.
After connecting
New Trello items appear in Discovery alongside your other sources. You can search them, ask questions about them, and cite them in product work without opening another tab.
Disconnecting Trello removes the connection and the signals it brought in.
Troubleshooting
- Connected, but nothing appears. Open the Trello card and run a sync by hand. If it errors, the card shows the reason.
- "Upgrade to connect". Your plan caps how many integrations you can connect at once, and a few providers are Scale-only. Settings → Usage shows where you stand.
- Credentials stopped working. Tokens expire and get revoked. Reconnect with a fresh one — your existing signals are kept.
See the Trello integration page for what it's for and the questions people usually ask first, or the Integrations Overview for how integrations work in general.
