Being a working individual, it is essential for me to maintain organization in order to keep up with my responsibilities and schedules. An incredibly useful tool that I have discovered for this purpose is Trello, a flexible project management system. With Trello, I am able to create boards, lists, and cards to effectively manage my projects, deadlines, and tasks. Additionally, I heavily rely on my iCal calendar to stay on track for meetings and events. Thus, the ability to sync Trello with iCal has been a game-changer for me.
In this article, I will walk you through the process of syncing Trello with iCal, step by step. By the end of this article, you’ll be able to seamlessly integrate your Trello boards and cards with your iCal calendar, ensuring that you never miss an important task or event.
Step 1: Enable the iCalendar Power-Up in Trello
The first step in syncing Trello with iCal is to enable the iCalendar Power-Up in Trello. To do this, open your Trello board and click on the Power-Ups button located on the right side of your board menu.
In the Power-Ups menu, search for “iCalendar” and click on the iCalendar Power-Up. Enable it for your board by clicking on the “Enable” button. Once enabled, you’ll see a new iCalendar option in the board menu.
Step 2: Generate the iCalendar URL
Now that the iCalendar Power-Up is enabled, we need to generate the iCalendar URL for your Trello board. To do this, click on the iCalendar option in the board menu. A dialog box will appear with the iCalendar URL.
Copy the iCalendar URL to your clipboard. This URL is unique to your Trello board and will be used to sync your Trello board with iCal.
Step 3: Add the iCalendar URL to iCal
With the iCalendar URL copied, open your iCal application on your computer. In iCal, go to the “File” menu and select “New Calendar Subscription”. A dialog box will appear.
In the dialog box, paste the iCalendar URL that you copied from Trello into the “Calendar URL” field. Click on the “Subscribe” button to continue.
You can customize the settings for your subscription, such as the name of the calendar and the refresh frequency. Once you’re satisfied with the settings, click on the “OK” button to complete the subscription.
Step 4: Enjoy Synced Trello Boards in iCal
That’s it! You’ve successfully synced your Trello board with iCal. Now, whenever you make changes to your Trello board, such as adding a new card or updating a due date, those changes will automatically be reflected in your iCal calendar.
By syncing Trello with iCal, you can easily keep track of your tasks and deadlines, all in one place. Whether you’re on the go or at your computer, you’ll have access to your Trello boards and calendars, ensuring that you stay organized and productive.
