How To Add Trello To Win Calendar

Adding Trello to your Windows Calendar can greatly enhance your productivity and organization. As someone who relies heavily on both Trello and my Windows Calendar, I have found this integration to be incredibly helpful. In this article, I will walk you through the step-by-step process of adding Trello to your Windows Calendar, and provide some personal tips and insights along the way.

Step 1: Install the Trello App

The first thing you’ll need to do is install the Trello app on your Windows device. You can find the app in the Microsoft Store by searching for “Trello”. Once you’ve found the app, click on the “Get” button to install it.

Step 2: Sign in to Your Trello Account

After installing the Trello app, open it and sign in to your Trello account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can easily create one for free on the Trello website.

Step 3: Enable Calendar Power-Up

Once you’re signed in to your Trello account, you’ll need to enable the Calendar Power-Up for the board you want to sync with your Windows Calendar. To do this, open the board and click on the “Show Menu” button in the top-right corner. Then, click on the “Power-Ups” option in the menu.

In the Power-Ups menu, you’ll see a list of available Power-Ups for your board. Look for the Calendar Power-Up and click on the “Enable” button next to it. This will add the Calendar Power-Up to your board.

Step 4: Generate Calendar Feed URL

After enabling the Calendar Power-Up, you’ll need to generate a unique URL for your board’s calendar feed. This URL will be used to sync your Trello board with your Windows Calendar. To generate the URL, go back to the main board view and click on the “Show Menu” button again. This time, click on the “More” option in the menu, and then click on the “Calendar” option.

In the Calendar menu, you’ll see a section titled “Calendar Feed”. Click on the “Enable” button if it’s not already enabled, and then click on the “Copy” button next to the calendar feed URL. This will copy the URL to your clipboard.

Step 5: Add Trello Calendar to Windows Calendar

Now that you have the calendar feed URL, open your Windows Calendar app. Click on the “Settings” icon in the bottom-left corner, and then click on the “Manage Accounts” option.

In the “Manage Accounts” menu, click on the “Add account” button and select “Internet calendar”. Paste the calendar feed URL you copied from Trello into the “Server” field, and give the calendar a name that you’ll recognize, such as “Trello Calendar”. Click on the “Save” button to add the Trello calendar to your Windows Calendar.

Step 6: Customize and Personalize

Now that you’ve successfully added Trello to your Windows Calendar, it’s time to customize and personalize it to fit your needs. You can choose the color, visibility, and other settings for the Trello calendar in your Windows Calendar app. Experiment with different settings to find what works best for you.

Conclusion

Adding Trello to your Windows Calendar can be a game-changer for your productivity and organization. By following the steps outlined in this article, you’ll be able to seamlessly sync your Trello boards with your Windows Calendar, allowing you to stay on top of your tasks and deadlines in one centralized location.
