Connect Asana, ClickUp, Trello, or Monday.com

Overview of how to connect each of the four main project management tools to Elido, and how to pick the right one for your workflow.

4 min readUpdated 2026-05-15

What you'll set up

  • A plan for connecting Elido to your PM tool today through a generic webhook endpoint, plus an automation tool in the middle.
  • The right auth token for each tool: Personal Access Token (Asana, Monday), API token + List ID (ClickUp), or API key + token + board/list ID (Trello).
  • Which Elido events can feed tasks today: broken links, expired links, click caps, domain failures and usage limits.

Each PM tool will work on the same principle: Elido fires an outbound event and a task, card, or item is created in your project of choice. Today you can build this yourself: add an event endpoint under Settings → Webhooks and use these events: link.broken, link.expired, link.cap_reached, domain.ssl_failed, usage.threshold_80, usage.threshold_100. See the webhooks guide and the n8n guide.

Asana

Get a Personal Access Token:

  1. Asana → My Settings → Apps → Manage Developer Apps → Create New Personal Access Token.
  2. Name it "Elido" and copy the token.

Configure in Elido (planned):

  1. Planned: Dashboard → Webhooks → Add Asana (not available yet).
  2. Paste the token. Click Fetch projects — Elido lists every project your account can see.
  3. Pick the target project and an optional assignee.
  4. Choose events. Planned: a broken-link event opens an "Investigate broken link" task.

Asana's API uses tasks:write and projects:read — you'll see these listed in the token scope screen.

ClickUp

Get an API token:

  1. ClickUp → Settings → Apps → API Token → Generate.

Find your List ID:

You need the List where tasks should land. The easiest way: navigate to the list in ClickUp. The URL contains the list ID, e.g. https://app.clickup.com/1234/v/li/987654 — the number after /li/ is the List ID. Alternatively, call GET https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/team with your token and drill into spaces → folders → lists.

Configure in Elido (planned):

  1. Planned: Dashboard → Webhooks → Add ClickUp (not available yet).
  2. Paste the API token and the List ID.
  3. Select events and save.

Trello

Trello uses a two-step key + token flow.

Step 1 — API key: Go to https://trello.com/power-ups/admin → New → name it "Elido" → copy the API key.

Step 2 — Token: Visit this URL (replace KEY with your key):

https://trello.com/1/authorize?key=KEY&name=Elido&expiration=never&scope=read,write&response_type=token

Trello shows a token on screen. Copy it.

Step 3 — Board and list IDs: Open the target Trello board. Add .json to the URL:

https://trello.com/b/XXXX/your-board.json

Find the list you want under the lists key and copy its id.

Configure in Elido (planned):

  1. Planned: Dashboard → Webhooks → Add Trello (not available yet).
  2. Paste the API key, token, and list ID.
  3. Select events and save.

Monday.com

Get a personal API token:

  1. Monday → click your avatar → Developers → My Access Tokens.
  2. Copy the token.

Find your board ID:

Open the target board. The URL is https://monday.com/boards/1234567890 — the number is the board ID. Copy it.

Configure in Elido (planned):

  1. Planned: Dashboard → Webhooks → Add Monday (not available yet).
  2. Paste the API token and board ID.
  3. Select events and save. Each event creates a new item in the first group of the board.

Troubleshooting

Asana — "Not a member of that project" — The PAT belongs to a user who doesn't have access to the selected project. Either add the user to the project in Asana, or use a different PAT.

ClickUp — tasks created in the wrong list — Verify the List ID. It's easy to confuse it with a Space ID or Folder ID. Use the URL method described above to confirm.

Trello — token expired — Tokens created with expiration=never do expire if Trello detects security issues. Re-run the authorization URL to get a fresh token.

Monday.com — "Error 200: invalid column value" — The board has required columns with no default. Fill them in via Monday or pick a different group/board that has defaults for all required columns.
