Trello
· #68 most-usedYour boards, lists, and cards — fully automated
Trello is the visual board-based task tracker that millions of teams use to move work through stages. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create cards from any inbound signal, move them between lists as work progresses, assign members, post comments, and react to due dates — all without a human touching the board. Every card update, every list change, every checklist tick can trigger a downstream action across your entire stack.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the manual triage, card creation, member assignment, and status-update steps that eat 30–45 minutes per person every day.
What your Trello agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Trello × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Support ticket to resolved in 60 seconds
When a client email lands in Gmail and creates a support card, your agent reads the message, finds the right Trello board, creates a detailed card with label and assignee, posts the email as a comment, and pings the support lead in Slack — all before a human has scrolled to the message. Clients wait minutes, not hours, because the triage is already done.
Savings
What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

How to plug Trello into Actionist
Pick the connection method that suits your environment.
The fastest path to Trello. Install one of the official Trello MCP servers and the agent reaches your boards, lists, and cards through a permissioned OAuth handshake — no token strings to copy, no credential rotation to manage.
Find Trello in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default — the agent will use the official mcp-server-trello.
A Trello OAuth window opens. Log in and grant Actionist permission to read and write your boards — you choose which workspaces are in scope.
Actionist runs a read-only call to list your boards. A green tick confirms the handshake and the agent is ready to act.
