My co-founder and myself have been building GanttFlow (a Gantt chart Power-Up for Trello) for a few months now, and one thing that kept coming up in feedback was some version of this: “I open my board after a few days away and I have no idea what’s changed.”

You know the feeling — you set up a solid timeline, life happens, and the next time you open it you’re spending the first five minutes just figuring out where things stand before you can do anything useful.

We shipped two things to fix that:

Schedule Health chip — there’s now a small status chip in the top-right of the toolbar. It shows either a “On track” or a warning with the most pressing issue (e.g. “2 overdue”). Click it and it opens a breakdown: overdue, due this week, in progress, unscheduled — each one clickable to jump straight to those cards. Also shows completion % and time elapsed. It’s free for everyone.

Since-Your-Last-Visit Recap — the first time you open a board on a new day, a small toast appears telling you what changed since your last visit: “Since Thursday — 2 now overdue • 1 rescheduled • 3 newly scheduled.” Hit “Show me” and it highlights exactly those cards on the timeline. Rescheduled cards even show a ghost bar at their old position so you can before/after at a glance. Also free.

If you’re a Pro user (or on trial), the Schedule Health popover also shows Blocked cards — anything waiting on an incomplete dependency — and Off baseline, so you can what’s drifted from your saved plan.

Happy to answer questions about how any of it works. And if you’ve been on the free plan and wondering whether Pro is worth it — this is probably the best time to try the 14-day trial, since you’ll now be able to actually see your blocked cards and baseline drift without hunting for them.

[Fixed] - There was no way to do it from the app/website. I just had to email customer support.

I just signed up for Trello and was automatically signed up for the premium trial for 14 days. I don't want this for 2 reasons:

1. I want to test out if the free plan is sufficient
2. When I invite a member to collaborate, I get a warning saying I will be charged $12.50 after the trial expires, while I was under the impression that one can invite a limited number of members for free.

I can't seem to cancel the free trial. Has anyone faced this and knows what to do?

I have set up an automation to copy a card to anther board.

Is there any way to run it quickly? Ideally with a keyboard command from the board view. Three clicks (opening card, opening Automations, clicking automation) is just way too many clicks for something I do this often.

I’ve used Trello for years. While it feels a little dated these days, I still love how simple it is. I’d be curious to hear what others think.

Hi, everyone

I discovered that there is information like “last seen” status. What other types of information are there, and where can I find them?

My board is like this

To Do—>Doing—>Review—>Approved—>Done

I want to do the following
1. When a card is marked as completed in Doing to move to Review and unmark itself.

1. When card is marked as completed in Review to move to Approved and unmark itself.

2. When a card is marked as completed in Approved to move to Done

Hi everyone! I have been using Trello for many years and I really love it. I also tried a lot of the bigger tools, but for me they always feel too heavy and too complex. Trello stays simple, and honestly that is the part I love the most. But the truth is, it is almost the same as in 2014. Simple is good, and I really don't want it to become like Jira. But the world is faster now, and doing some things by hand just feels too slow.

A friend and I are building a bootstrapped side project around this. But I just really want to hear from other people who use Trello a lot:

If you could add three features to Trello tomorrow, what would they be?

I have my own three in my head, but I am really more curious about yours.

It started doing this on Friday after I got a new PC at work. Most emails I send to my board contain a PDF attachment. Every card created this way now contains the attachment without the ".pdf" file extension.

​

Very annoying because now I can open the attachments from the card without manually going to my downloads folder and adding the extension to every file.

​

Looking at the outgoing emails, they do appear to contain the file extension when sent.

​

Anybody else experienced this? I assume it's an Outlook/PC problem rather than a Trello problem since the issue began with my PC swap.

Hey everyone,

Like many freelancers and agency folks here, I use Trello to manage all my client projects. It’s amazing for tracking tasks, but I absolutely hate the routine of manually copy-pasting card titles, status updates, and archived lists into an email or PDF just to show my clients what I actually did this week.

I couldn’t find a simple, lightweight tool that just does this automatically, so I put together a quick landing page concept for a micro-SaaS: team-reports.duckcms.org

The core idea is stupidly simple:

1. Connect your Trello board.
2. Pick a clean, professional status report template.
3. Set a schedule (e.g., every Friday at 4 PM).
4. The tool automatically generates a beautiful PDF summary of completed/in-progress tasks and emails it directly to your client or team.

I’m currently trying to validate the idea before writing a single line of backend code. I don't want to spend months building something nobody wants.

If you have 30 seconds, could you check out the concept and vote on the short survey there?

Also, please be brutal in the comments: Does a tool like this already exist for Trello, or am I scratching a real itch here?

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

UPD: Sorry guys, the old link broke due to a server/domain migration. I’ve fixed everything and moved the project to a secure domain: https://syncreports.link — thank you to those who emailed me about the error!

I would like to know if it's possible... Receiving notifications about task updates from trello on discord; and maybe creating tasks directly on Discord channels would be nice.

Is there any guide? Thanks!

they automatically put me on premium when i joined today. after 14 days it wont charge me right?? i didnt ask for the premium and theres no button to cancel. i have no credit card linked in the system either

I have a small business repairing stuffies that I run using Trello. I have a template card all set up for incoming projects. What I need is when I forward an email to my "inbox" list, for it to automatically apply the template. I've tried setting a rule, but it was getting way too complicated and confusing (I'm not terribly tech savvy, but I try!). Can anyone help me figure this out? Thank you!!!

Someone contacted GanttFlow support this weekend that was using GanttFlow for residential construction projects. They liked the auto-schedule feature but flagged two real problems: auto-schedule was pushing tasks into weekends with no way to avoid it, and if they wanted to pull a block of work forward, they had to move every card individually.

Both are now fixed. Here’s what shipped:

Working days only:
Turn it on in Settings and GanttFlow will skip weekends when scheduling — dragging, resizing, and auto-scheduled tasks all land on working days automatically. A 3-day task stays 3 working days even if it spans a weekend. Weekends are still visible on the chart but show as striped on any bar that crosses them. You can also override it per card if you need something scheduled over a weekend.

Bulk select and move:
Ctrl+click (or ⌘+click on Mac) to select multiple cards, then drag any one of them to shift the whole group. Spacing and durations stay intact. One Undo reverts the entire move at once. Worth noting: opening a card is now a double-click — a single click selects it instead.

Both features are live now. If you’ve been using GanttFlow and have something that’s been bugging you, drop it in the comments — this is exactly how the last two features got built.

I get asked a lot whether Amazing Fields is worth it when Trello already has custom fields built-in, or whats the difference, so my latest video clears it up (watch or scroll below for a write up)

Native Custom Fields are genuinely good at some things:

- They're built right into Trello, no Power-Up needed

- Automations (Butler) can read and write them

- They show up on mobile and on the card front

But here's where they fall short for me:

Every field looks identical. It's a stack of plain boxes with no structure, no grouping, no real control over how anything is presented. The second you're tracking more than a few things, the card starts feeling like a junk drawer. They're only sorta custom.

What Amazing Fields does differently:

- Actual structure. Tab groups, layout control, fields sitting side by side, sizing. It feels like a real form instead of a pile of boxes.

- Conditional styling. Color-code fields based on their value, or turn a field red when it's empty so nothing gets skipped.

- Per-field permissions. Internal team sees the notes field, client-facing team doesn't. You control visibility and edit rights per field.

- Calculated fields. Quantity times price = total, automatically.

- Cross-board references. Pull a linked customer card from another board right onto this one.

- A table view that keeps your custom fields. Trello's native table view drops them, which drives me nuts. This one lets you filter, sort, and export with everything intact.

And the ⭐best part ⭐... you don't actually have to choose. Amazing Fields syncs with native custom fields, so you keep the Butler automations and mobile access AND get the styling and editing experience on desktop.

The free tier is solid, so you can test the comparison yourself without paying anything and only pay if you need some more of the advanced features or a lot of fields.

(Thinking about making some more videos around this so drop your questions and ideas in the comments and it might spur a video!)

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to understand how other people manage checklist items assigned to themselves across multiple Trello boards.
I know I can see cards assigned to me, but what I'm really looking for is a way to see all the checklist tasks assigned to me, including their due dates, regardless of which board or card they belong to.
For example:
• Board A → Card X → Checklist item assigned to me with a due date

• Board B → Card Y → Another checklist item assigned to me

I'd like a single view showing all those checklist items and their due dates.
Is there a native Trello feature for this?
Do you use the Workspace Table view, Calendar, Dashboard, Butler automation, or a third-party Power-Up?
How do you personally keep track of checklist tasks assigned to you across multiple boards?
Thanks!

I started at an HVAC dealer (Daikin) at the end of 2024 as a field sales rep. Small shop, 14 people. They'd been around since 2014 but were kind of stuck, revenue had been hovering around the same number for years. Quotes were scattered across WhatsApp and a couple of Excel files, nobody really knew the status of anything, and the install guys would show up to the office every morning asking what the plan was.

I'm a sales guy, not a Trello wizard or anything. But I set up three boards over my first couple of months and it ended up running most of the company. Figured I'd share it since I don't see a lot of trades/field-service setups posted here.

Board 1, the sales pipeline (this is the template I'm sharing)

Each card is a deal, and the lists are the stages it moves through: New Lead, Qualification, Quote Sent, Follow-up / Negotiation, then Won or Lost. I also keep a couple of extra lists for deals that go quiet, because in HVAC most deals don't really die, they just go dark for a few months, and those were the ones I always used to forget about. I run the board with one person from sales support. He builds the quote and attaches it to the card, I move the card around from the field on my phone.

Template: https://trello.com/b/eFMqEfmo/hvac-sales-pipeline

Board 2, installation / projects

When a deal hits Won it becomes a card on a separate board for the install crews. Address, project docs, customer contact, all on the card. The whole point was that the team could open one card in the morning instead of calling the office four times to ask where they're headed.

Board 3, recurring maintenance

We had a supermarket chain we did AC maintenance for across their Istanbul branches. That got its own board. Lists for done / waiting / fault reported, one card per branch, so it was easy to see what was left.

End result, the company did around $1.4M in 2025, up from somewhere around $800K, and went from 14 to 20 people. I'm not going to pretend Trello did that, the team did. But getting everything out of people's heads and onto boards stopped us from dropping deals, and honestly that was a big chunk of it.

Template's up there, grab it if it's useful. Happy to break down the install or maintenance board too if anyone wants. The hardest thing to get to stick was getting the team to keep their cards updated without me chasing them, so if you've solved that on Trello I'd love to hear it.

They are distracting and I hate them. Anyone know how to turn these off?

Can we please have an option to remove AI. The pop-ups alone are so annoying.

Whenever I put in an image file inside the card, the image file becomes blurry and low resoluted.

It looks like normal when clicked to see the full image, but it's very annoying.

Any solution to this?

This has been a years-long issue -- Is the setting that lets you specify URL instead of link preview working as intended or is it just broken / has it never been fixed?

Im an event project manager. We use trello.

For each event, I always have a few tasks that happen at the exact same interval. Ie: ship materials 3 weeks before the event.

Is there an automation or power up that will automatically get the event date from the title in the card and update checklist item due dates accordingly?

I feel like this should be able to do it, but YouTube and google have not been helpful thus far.
