Track time on your Trello cards

Measured hours next to the cards on your Trello boards.

Worktivity connects a Trello board to a Worktivity project and pulls its cards in as tasks, so tracked time lands on the work your team already plans in Trello. Importing is read-only: your Trello cards and lists are never changed. The one thing that can go back is tracked time. If you turn on Write time back, Worktivity adds it as a comment on the matching card, one comment per person per card per day. It is off by default and only ever adds comments.

Setup

How to connect Trello

A few minutes in Worktivity. No engineering ticket, no script to run.

  1. Create a Worktivity account

    Sign up and invite the people who work off your Trello boards.

  2. Connect Trello in Workspace settings

    In Worktivity, open Workspace settings, then Integrations, and select Connect on the Trello card. Only the Owner and Co-owner can do this.

  3. Approve and link a board

    Approve the access on Trello's own screen. Then open Manage and use Connect board to link a Trello board to a new or existing Worktivity project.

  4. Start tracking

    The Trello cards show up as tasks in that Worktivity project, with the name of their list added to the title, and refresh regularly, or on request with "Sync now". Time tracked against them lands there.

What you get

Why teams turn this on

Pull the cards of a Trello board into a project as tasks and track time on them. Importing is read-only; an optional Write time back switch adds your time to the cards as comments.

  • Cards become tasks

    Every card on a linked board arrives as a task, with its list name added to the title, for example "Design homepage hero [Today]". A card whose due date is marked complete, an archived card, or one in an archived list is completed in Worktivity on the next sync. Due dates follow too. A change you make in Worktivity stays until Trello changes that field again.

  • People matched by hand

    Trello does not share email addresses, so people are never matched automatically. You match each person to an employee yourself, and tasks reach the right person.

  • Time back to Trello, if you want it

    Importing never changes your Trello cards or lists. Only if you turn on Write time back, which is off by default, does Worktivity add the time tracked from then on as one comment per person per card per day, once the day is over. Time from anyone not matched is not written until they are matched, and then only the last few days are. Later corrections are not carried over.
