Configure Trello Connectivity for Google Sheets

Connectivity to Trello from Google Sheets is made possible through Connect Spreadsheets. To work with Trello data from Google Sheets, we start by creating and configuring a Trello connection.

1. Log into Connect Spreadsheets, click Connections and click Add Connection
2. Select "Trello" from the Add Connection panel
3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Trello.

   Trello uses token-based authentication to grant third-party applications access to their API. When a user has granted an application access to their data, the application is given a token that can be used to make requests to Trello's API.

   Trello's API can be accessed in 2 different ways. The first is using Trello's own Authorization Route, and the second is using OAuth1.0.

   • Authorization Route: At the moment of registration, Trello assigns an API key and Token to the account. See the Help documentation for information on how to connect via the Authorization route.
   • OAuth Route: Similar to using Authorization, OAuth creates an Application Id and Secret when you create your account. See the Help documentation for information on how to to connect.

4. Click Create & Test

With the connection configured, you are ready to connect to Trello data from Google Sheets.
