This article will walk you through the steps of incorporating Trello into Confluence, allowing you to utilize the visual project management of Trello and the collaborative capabilities of Confluence in a single location.

Step 1: Install the Trello Power-Up for Confluence

The first step is to install the Trello Power-Up for Confluence. This Power-Up allows you to embed Trello boards and cards directly within Confluence pages. To install the Power-Up, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Confluence instance and navigate to the “Apps” section.
  2. Search for “Trello Power-Up” and click on the “Install” button.
  3. Once the installation is complete, you will see a new option in the Confluence editor toolbar called “Trello”.

Step 2: Connect your Trello Account

Before you can start embedding Trello boards and cards in Confluence, you need to connect your Trello account to Confluence. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the “Trello” option in the Confluence editor toolbar.
  2. A window will pop up asking you to log in to Trello. Enter your Trello credentials and click “Log in”.
  3. Once you are logged in, you will see a list of your Trello boards.

Step 3: Embed Trello Boards and Cards in Confluence

Now that you have the Trello Power-Up installed and your Trello account connected, you can start embedding Trello boards and cards in your Confluence pages. Here’s how:

  1. In the Confluence editor, position your cursor where you want to embed a Trello board or card.
  2. Click on the “Trello” option in the Confluence editor toolbar.
  3. A window will pop up showing your Trello boards. Select the board or card you want to embed.
  4. Choose the display options for the embedded content, such as showing a board view or a card view.
  5. Click “Embed” to insert the Trello content into your Confluence page.

Step 4: Customize the Embedded Trello Content

The Trello Power-Up for Confluence allows you to customize the appearance and behavior of the embedded Trello content. You can resize the embedded board or card, show or hide certain elements, and even enable editing directly within Confluence. To customize the embedded Trello content, follow these steps:

  1. Select the embedded Trello content in the Confluence editor.
  2. A toolbar will appear above the embedded content with various customization options.
  3. Click on the options to modify the appearance and behavior of the embedded Trello content.
  4. Once you are satisfied with the customization, click “Save” to apply the changes.
