Whether an integration may be connected at all is up to owners and admins, see managing integrations for your users.


2. How do I send meeting insights to Trello?

Once Trello is connected, a few clicks are enough to move content from a recording into Trello, so it lands on the right board and list.

The route is always the same: open the recording you need and click the Integrations icon. It sits at the top of every section and on every single line. Below it you find the two Trello actions.

You can:

When to use which?
  • Add card in Trello for a new card covering a follow-up task or deliverable.
  • Add comment in Trello for extra context on a card that already exists, without creating new items.

2.1. Add a card in Trello

Turn a Sally insight into a new Trello card.

  1. Choose Add card in Trello in the Integrations menu.

  3. Click Create card.

Best practice

Keep card titles short, so action plus outcome, and leave the detailed meeting context in the description. Labels, members and due dates you can add directly in Trello afterwards.


2.2. Add a comment in Trello

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

  1. Choose Add comment in Trello in the Integrations menu.

Tip

Use comments for status updates, decisions or clarifications that belong to an ongoing card, rather than creating duplicates.


3. What OAuth scopes does the Trello integration require?

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.
