What Trello does
The tool, in plain language.
Bring board cards and delivery context into the same loop as product evidence.
Why connect it to Specky?
Keep the useful context attached.
Connect Trello when useful product context lives there and should be available beside the rest of your Product Graph.
- Searchable source context
- Recurring themes
- Evidence-backed product decisions
The job this connection does
Why would a product team connect Trello?
Make the useful context in Trello available when you need to answer a product question.
Specky pulls from Trello on a schedule
Specky checks Trello for new activity when your workspace syncs. You can also run a sync yourself whenever you need a fresh read.
Know what this connection is for.
A useful integration is clear about its boundary: what Specky can receive, what it returns to your product workflow, and what it deliberately does not do.
You provide
- Cards, descriptions, labels, due dates, lists, and activity from one board
- A Trello API key, user token, and board ID
- An optional default list for outbound cards
Specky gives back
- Delivery context connected to customer evidence and decisions
- Approved cards created or updated from Tickets and the Execution Bridge
- No silent archiving or list movement by Specky
A real example
An approved PRD becomes a Trello card in the configured open list, with the work still traceable to the requirement and evidence that motivated it.
Questions you can ask in plain English
These are the kinds of questions this connection helps answer. Specky keeps the source attached so the answer can be checked, not just trusted.
Connecting Trello
Here’s the quick version. The setup guide walks through every field and screen.
- 1
Open Trello Power-Ups and open the API Key tab for your Power-Up.
- 2
Copy the API key, then click the token link beside it to create a user token.
- 3
Copy the board ID from the board URL or board settings.
- 4
In Specky, open Settings → Integrations → Trello and paste the three values.

Before you connect it
How does Specky use my Trello data?
It becomes part of your Product Graph, where you can search it alongside related feedback from the rest of your stack. The source stays attached, and your workspace data is not used to train AI models.
Will Specky import my existing Trello history?
Yes. The first sync brings in recent Trello history, then Specky keeps up with new activity after that.
What do I need before I connect Trello?
You will need API Key, User Token, Board ID from your own Trello account. The setup guide walks you through each one.
How long will this take?
Usually a few minutes. You create a credential in Trello, paste it into Specky, and you are connected. Step-by-step instructions are in the setup guide.
Can I disconnect Trello later?
Yes — go to Settings → Integrations whenever you want. Disconnecting removes the connection and the data it brought in.
Can I use Trello on my plan?
Every plan can connect integrations. Your plan sets how many can be active at once, and a few providers are limited to Scale. Settings → Usage shows where you stand.
