Before you start

A Flow, Operations, or Custom plan.
The owner connects Trello and enables boards. Owners, admins and members can choose, change or remove cards for reviews they can access.
A Trello account with access to the selected board, list, and card.

Quick task overview

Start with these steps. If the task has more steps, they appear right below.

Step 1
As the Owner, open Settings, go to Integrations, and find Trello.
Step 2
Select “Connect Trello” and authorize Aproova with the account that can access your team’s cards.
Step 3
Return to Aproova and check that the integration status is “Connected”. This connection applies to the whole workspace.

4Open the review that should follow a work item, open “Review details”, select “History”, and scroll to the end. The Trello section sits directly below Activity.
5In the Trello section, select “Choose card”. Aproova uses existing cards: if the work item does not exist yet, create it in Trello and return to this step.
6Select Board, List, and Card in that order. Check the full path before confirming the link.
7In the same Trello section, select “Move by status” and choose destination lists for new versions, requested changes, approval, and rejection. Keep “Do not move automatically” for events that should leave the card in place.
8As the owner, to reuse these movements in other reviews on the same board, select “Save as a new flow”. Later, choose the saved flow and use “Apply flow” to update the review immediately.
9Open the card in Trello and confirm the attachment with the review link. New versions and decisions recorded in Aproova will appear as short card comments.
10To change the destination, return to the same section in the review. To disconnect or reconnect the account, use Settings > Integrations.

The card keeps the review link, receives updates without copying private comments, and moves between lists according to the configured rules.

The integration is missing: confirm the Flow plan or higher. Only the Owner can start the connection.
Cannot link: check that your invitation is accepted, you are an owner, admin or member, and you can access the review. Commenters and guests cannot change links. This is separate from a plan restriction.
A board, list, or card is missing: check that it is open and available to the connected Trello account.
Authorization expired or was removed: open Settings > Integrations and select “Reconnect”. Existing links resume updates after reconnection.
An update is delayed or fails in Trello: the version or decision remains saved in Aproova. The integration retries without blocking the work.
Private comments and unreleased internal versions are not sent to Trello.
The card did not move: open “Move by status” and confirm that this result has a destination list configured.
To follow along in the app, choose the tool in the guide at the top of Settings → Integrations. Use Next step and Open full help as needed. Moving through the guide does not connect accounts or send messages; verify the result at the destination before using it in production.
