2. How to send insights to Trello

Once Trello is connected, you can send meeting insights from Sally to Trello with a single click — so they land on the right Board and List.

You can:

When to use which?
  • "Add card in Trello" → Create a new card for a follow-up task or deliverable.
  • "Add comment in Trello" → Add context to an existing card without creating a new one.

2.1. Add a card in Trello

Turn a Sally insight into a new Trello card.

  1. Open the desired meeting in Sally.

  2. Hover any insight, decision, next step, or task in the summary. Click the Trello icon, then choose "Add card in Trello".

  3. Fill in the creation form (required fields are marked with *). Typically:

    • Board*
    • List*
    • Name* (card title)
      The description is prefilled from Sally and can be edited.

  4. Click Create to send the card to Trello.

Best practice

Use concise card titles (action + outcome) and keep the rich meeting context in the description. You can also add labels or assignees directly in Trello after creation.

2.2. Add a comment in Trello

Attach meeting context as a comment to an existing Trello card.

  1. Open the desired meeting in Sally.

  2. Hover the relevant item, click the Trello icon, and choose "Add comment in Trello".

  3. Select the target Board, List, and Card to comment on. The comment text is prefilled from Sally and can be edited.

  4. Click Create to post the comment on the card.

Tip

Use comments for status updates, decisions, or clarifications that should live with the ongoing card rather than creating duplicates.


3. Required OAuth Scopes

For the integration with Trello, Sally uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. The following scopes define which areas Sally can access on behalf of the authenticated user.

Disclaimer
  1. Sally accesses this information solely to technically establish and maintain the connection to the user account.

  2. Sally does not make any autonomous changes. Actions are performed exclusively upon the explicit initiative of the user.

  3. API endpoints are only called within the scope of an active action initiated by the user within the platform.

Technical Overview of Required Scopes
