Documentation
Everything you need to set up the bot, create tasks from Discord, manage subtasks, and keep your team in sync with Trello.
Quick Start
Four steps from installation to your first Trello card created from Discord.
Open the Power-Up settings in Trello. Connect Trello first, then Discord. Select your server and the channel where the bot should listen.
Choose the Trello board and list where new cards will be created. Any /task command in your Discord channel lands here.
The bot must be a member of your Discord server. If it isn't, an "Add Bot to Server" prompt appears automatically in the settings panel.
In the configured channel, type a /task command. A Trello card and a dedicated thread are created instantly.
Commands
Everything is triggered from Discord - no Trello tab required.
Creates a Trello card and opens a Discord thread. Only title is required - description, labels, and attachment are all optional.
/task title:… description:… labels:#tag attachment:file
Minimal - title only
/task title:Fix login bug
Full - with all optional fields
/task title:Fix login bug description:Google OAuth fails on mobile labels:#bug #urgent attachment:screenshot.png
#bug #urgent #featureMoves the linked Trello card to a different list. Must be used inside a task thread - has no effect in the main channel.
/move list:List Name
Example
/move list:In Progress
Subtasks & Sync
Thread replies, reactions, and edits all sync to your Trello checklist automatically.
Reply inside the task thread with plain text - each message becomes a checklist item on the Trello card. The bot reacts 👍 to confirm it was saved.
React with ✅ on a subtask message to mark it complete in Trello. Remove the reaction to mark it incomplete again. No typing, no switching apps.
Edit a subtask message to update the checklist item text in Trello. Delete the message to remove the checklist item entirely from the card.
Every 30 seconds the bot checks Trello for changes: new items appear in the thread, deletions are removed, and completion state updates the ✅ reaction.
Tips
Small habits that keep your boards clean and your team in sync.

/taskConfirm you're typing in the channel configured in settings. Verify the bot has been added to your server - the settings panel will show a prompt if not. Slash commands can take up to 1 hour to appear after the bot first joins.
Use Discord's autocomplete when typing /task to fill in the fields correctly. Confirm a Trello board and list are selected in the Power-Up settings.
Make sure you're posting inside the task thread - not in the main channel. The bot reacts 👍 to confirm receipt. No reaction means the message was not processed.
Sync runs every 30 seconds - wait a moment and check again. Only the Stories/Subtasks checklist is synced; changes to other checklists are not reflected in Discord.
/move has no effect/move only works inside a task thread created by the bot. It does nothing in the main channel. Make sure the list name exists on the board (it's case-insensitive).
Open the Power-Up settings and verify both Trello and Discord are connected and a board and list are selected. If credentials expired, disconnect and reconnect both accounts.
Privacy & Security
Built privacy-first from day one. See the full Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
All API keys and OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest. Message content is never stored.
The bot only processes /task and /move slash commands, and messages inside task threads it created. Regular channel messages are never read.
Export all your data or permanently delete your account at any time from the Power-Up settings panel.
Disconnect a Board erases all data for that board. Delete Account erases everything. Both are permanent.
Pricing
No card limits, no board limits, no credit card. All features fully unlocked right now.
Paid plans may be introduced in the future.
Any changes will be announced on the product page and in the Power-Up settings before they take effect.
