Trello + Elido — link events become Trello cards

Automatically create Trello cards when your short links hit click thresholds or URL scanner flags an issue. API key + token setup, any board and list as the target.

Connect in dashboard Read setup guide

What you can do

Campaign milestones on the board where your team lives

Cards on any board

Point Elido at any Trello list — a sprint backlog, a marketing board, a content calendar. Cards appear automatically when the trigger fires.

Threshold and alert events

threshold.exceeded and scan.failed both create Trello cards. The card name and description include full context so the assignee can act without switching apps.

Visual campaign tracking

Add a 'Link milestones' list to your marketing board. Every link that hits a traffic goal creates a card — a visible record of campaign momentum.

Token stored securely

Your Trello API key and token are encrypted with your workspace KMS key before storage and never exposed in the UI after the initial save.

How it works

Outbound — Elido → Trello API

Elido's webhook-dispatcher watches for the event types you configure and calls the Trello REST API with your stored key and token to create a card in the list you picked. Data flows outbound only: Elido pushes to Trello; Trello does not send events back.

Setup guide

Two steps to your first Trello card

1
Get your Trello API key + token
Visit https://trello.com/power-ups/admin → New → copy the key. Then open https://trello.com/1/authorize?key=<KEY>&name=Elido&expiration=never&scope=read,write&response_type=token to get the token. Replace <KEY> with your copied key.
2
Pick a board + list
Paste board ID and list ID into /dashboard/webhooks → Trello. Find the board ID from the board URL; find the list ID from the Board JSON export or the API.

Trello REST API docs

Authentication

API key + token — scoped to read and write

Trello's authentication model uses a Power-Up API key (per-application) combined with a user-authorization token. You generate the key from the Trello Power-Ups admin page, then authorize via a URL that specifies the scopes (read and write). The resulting token is scoped to your Trello account and the specific permissions you grant. Elido encrypts both the key and the token at rest. You can revoke the token at any time from Trello → Settings → Authorized Applications without touching the Elido dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Does Elido see my cards or boards in Trello?+

Elido uses your API key and token to create cards. With the read,write scope we can list your boards and lists (for setup), but we do not read card content or attachments during normal operation.

What scopes does the Trello authorization grant?+

The token you generate via the authorization URL has read and write scope. Read lets us list boards/lists so you can pick the target. Write lets us create cards. We do not request member or admin scope.

Can I limit Elido to a specific Trello board?+

Yes. During setup you pick one board and one list. Elido will only create cards there. Change it at any time from /dashboard/webhooks → Trello.

How do I revoke access?+

You can revoke the specific token from Trello → Settings → Authorized Applications. Remove the integration from Elido's side at /dashboard/webhooks → Trello → Remove.

What does a Trello card from Elido look like?+

The card name follows a configurable template (e.g. '🚀 launch-2026 hit 1,000 clicks'). The description includes the short link, destination URL, current click count, and a link to the Elido dashboard.
