Utilizing tools for business efficiency is crucial in modern business.
In this blog, we introduce a system that integrates Chatwork and Trello, automatically registering cards in Trello triggered by message posts in Chatwork.
This integration reduces manual workload, prevents errors, and promotes efficient business operations.
The integration method we introduce can be easily set up without coding, so if you're interested in automation, please give it a try.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to centralize information from multiple project management tools
  • Those who use Chatwork and Trello in their daily operations
  • Those who want to improve business efficiency by integrating Chatwork and Trello

Benefits and Examples of Chatwork and Trello Integration

1. Improved Work Efficiency

By automatically registering Chatwork messages as Trello cards, quick processing becomes possible.
For example, in project management, task requests received from each member via Chatwork can be promptly registered as Trello cards, preventing task omissions and delays.
This creates time to focus on other important tasks, improving the overall work efficiency of the team.

2. Centralization of Information

Chatwork messages can flow easily, making it time-consuming to search for past instructions or requests.
However, with automation, tasks and request details can be centrally managed once registered as Trello cards.
Even when handling multiple projects, information is organized per Trello board, allowing quick access to necessary information.
Additionally, task progress can be visually grasped, further promoting business efficiency.
By utilizing Trello, the burden of managing information is reduced, leading to smoother business operations.

3. Visualization of Task Progress

Tasks shared on Chatwork may have unclear progress statuses. By registering them as Trello cards, the progress of each task can be visually tracked.
For instance, if the sales team sends a task request via Chatwork and it is registered in Trello, the status of each task can be managed as "Not Addressed," "In Progress," or "Completed." This visualization makes it easier to grasp the overall picture and speeds up decision-making regarding priorities.

From here, we will proceed with the setup using Yoom's template 【Register a card in Trello when a message is posted in Chatwork】 as the integration flow.

I came across Yoom when I was searching for ways to improve work efficiency on a daily basis at a small and medium-sized enterprise in a region where human resources are limited. I was casually thinking that it would be nice if this were the case, and by introducing Yoom, we can make it so much more efficient! I'm moved. Even though I have no knowledge or experience with systems or programming, my work has changed drastically, so I'm writing that I hope I can share it with many people who feel the same way.
