Overview

The Trello integration provides two workflow actions for managing cards from Rootly incidents. If you are unfamiliar with how Genius workflows work, visit the Workflows documentation first. Trello organizes content in a hierarchy: Boards → Lists → Cards. When configuring workflow actions, select the board first, then the list within that board.

Troubleshooting

Rootly loads boards and lists from your authorized Trello account. If boards you expect to see are missing, confirm the authorizing user has access to those boards. Re-authenticating the integration may refresh the available list.
Labels in Trello are scoped to a specific board. Select a board first — labels will load automatically based on the selected board.
