How to integrate Trello with Backlog to add an issue in Backlog when a card is created in Trello

Step 1: Integrate Trello and Backlog with My App

Register My App to connect Trello and Backlog to Yoom.
By registering My App first, you can easily set up automation.

First, register My App for Trello.
Click "My Apps" → "New Connection" on the left side of the Yoom screen.

A list of apps and a search bar will be displayed, so use either to select Trello.
Enter "Account Name," "Access Token," and "API Key" on the following screen, and click "Add."
If you have any questions, please refer to here.

This completes the Trello My App integration.

Next, register My App for Backlog.
Similarly, search for Backlog from the app list or use the search bar.

Check the instructions, enter the "Domain," and click "Add."

This completes the Backlog My App integration.

Once both My App registrations are complete, Trello and Backlog will be displayed in My Apps.

Step 2: Set Up Triggers

Next, let's proceed with the setup using the Flowbot template.
Log in to Yoom and click "Try it" on the banner below.

The message "Template has been copied!" will be displayed, and clicking "OK" will complete the copy.

Next, set up the Trello trigger. Please click "When a new card is created".

Please check the "Account information to integrate with Trello".
You can freely change the title, but keep the trigger action as is and click "Next".

Next, set up the API.
Check the red lines and configure each setting.

Please select the "Board ID" from the options.

After setting, click "Next".

Next, perform a test.
Check the steps and actually create a card in Trello.
After creation, click "Test".

When you run the test, information will be displayed in the output.
Confirm that the information is displayed and click "Save".

Step 3: Set up Action

Next, set up the Backlog action. Click "Add issue".

Next, check the "Account information to integrate with Backlog".
You can freely change the title, but do not change the execution action.

Perform the "API connection settings".
Check the red lines and set the "Domain" and "Project ID to register the issue".

Set the next screen as follows.
Set the "Issue subject" as desired.
Select or set the "Issue type ID" from the options as desired.
Select the "Issue priority" from "Low", "Medium", or "High".

Set the "Issue details" as desired.
You can input information obtained from the previous settings from the "Output".

Set other items as desired.

After setting, click "Test" and if "Test successful" is displayed, click "Save".

Step 4: Verify the Automation of Trello and Backlog

Finally, click "Turn on trigger" to complete the automation setup.
Now, when a card is created in Trello, an issue will be automatically added to Backlog.

Here is the template used this time.

Other Examples of Automation Using Trello

Benefits and Examples of Integrating Trello and Backlog

Benefit 1: Automate Task Addition for Efficient Task Management

By integrating Trello with Backlog, tasks can be automatically added to Backlog when a card is created.
For example, assignees will no longer need to manually transfer tasks, allowing them to focus on other work.
This can reduce human error and improve work efficiency.

Benefit 2: Strengthen Internal Collaboration through Information Consolidation

With the integration of Trello and Backlog, you can create cards in Trello based on task importance, automatically registering only important tasks in Backlog.
For instance, if you manage project schedules in Trello, automatically registering important tasks in Backlog allows for centralized progress management.
This consolidates task-related information, preventing communication errors and oversights, thereby enhancing team collaboration.

Benefit 3: Smooth Project Progress through Progress Visualization

Integrating Trello with Backlog allows for the automation of task transitions from Trello to Backlog.
For example, when advancing a project, you can organize ideas in Trello and register execution tasks in Backlog to quickly check progress.
This helps prevent forgotten tasks or delays, facilitating smooth project progress.
