Trello setup requirements

To set up Trello in Stitch, you need:

  • To be a member of every Trello board you want to replicate. If a board is private and the user isn’t a member, Stitch will be unable to access it. Before beginning the setup process, verify that the user setting up the integration has access to all the boards you want to replicate.

    Refer to the Replication section for why this is required.

Step 1: Add Trello as a Stitch data source

  1. Sign into your Stitch account.
  2. On the Stitch Dashboard page, click the Add Integration button.

  3. Click the Trello icon.

  4. Enter a name for the integration. This is the name that will display on the Stitch Dashboard for the integration; it’ll also be used to create the schema in your destination.

    For example, the name “Stitch Trello” would create a schema called stitch_trello in the destination. Note: Schema names cannot be changed after you save the integration.

Step 2: Define the historical replication start date

The Sync Historical Data setting defines the starting date for your Trello integration. This means that data equal to or newer than this date will be replicated to your data warehouse.

Change this setting if you want to replicate data beyond Trello’s default setting of 1 year. For a detailed look at historical replication jobs, check out the Syncing Historical SaaS Data guide.

Step 3: Create a replication schedule

In the Replication Frequency section, you’ll create the integration’s replication schedule. An integration’s replication schedule determines how often Stitch runs a replication job, and the time that job begins.

Trello integrations support the following replication scheduling methods:

To keep your row usage low, consider setting the integration to replicate less frequently. See the Understanding and Reducing Your Row Usage guide for tips on reducing your usage.

Step 4: Authorize Stitch to access Trello

  1. Next, you’ll be redirected to Trello.
  2. Log into your Trello account and complete the authorization process. When finished, you’ll be redirected back to Stitch.
  3. Click All Done.

Step 5: Set objects to replicate

The last step is to select the tables and columns you want to replicate. Learn about the available tables for this integration.

Note: If a replication job is currently in progress, new selections won’t be used until the next job starts.

For Trello integrations, you can select:

  1. Individual tables and columns

  2. All tables and columns

Click the tabs to view instructions for each selection method.

  1. In the integration’s Tables to Replicate tab, locate a table you want to replicate.
  2. To track a table, click the checkbox next to the table’s name. A blue checkmark means the table is set to replicate.

  3. To track a column, click the checkbox next to the column’s name. A blue checkmark means the column is set to replicate.

  4. Repeat this process for all the tables and columns you want to replicate.
  5. When finished, click the Finalize Your Selections button at the bottom of the screen to save your selections.
  1. Click into the integration from the Stitch Dashboard page.
  2. Click the Tables to Replicate tab.

  3. In the list of tables, click the box next to the Table Names column.
  4. In the menu that displays, click Track all Tables and Fields:

    The Track all Tables and Fields menu in the Tables to Replicate tab
    The Track all Tables and Fields menu in the Tables to Replicate tab

  5. Click the Finalize Your Selections button at the bottom of the page to save your data selections.

Initial and historical replication jobs

After you finish setting up Trello, its Sync Status may show as Pending on either the Stitch Dashboard or in the Integration Details page.

For a new integration, a Pending status indicates that Stitch is in the process of scheduling the initial replication job for the integration. This may take some time to complete.

Free historical data loads

The first seven days of replication, beginning when data is first replicated, are free. Rows replicated from the new integration during this time won’t count towards your quota. Stitch offers this as a way of testing new integrations, measuring usage, and ensuring historical data volumes don’t quickly consume your quota.

Trello replication

In this section:

Data replication via board membership

Stitch’s Trello integration replicates data by first querying for the boards that the user authorizing the integration in Stitch is a member of. Specifically, Stitch uses the Get boards that member belongs to endpoint (/1/members/{id}/boards) to retrieve the boards the user is a member of.

This means that to replicate data successfully, including boards, the user who authorized the integration in Stitch must be a member of every board you want to replicate data from.

Let’s take a look at what Extraction might look like for boards and cards using some SQL queries.

  1. Stitch queries for boards that the authorizing user is a member of. In this example, the authorizing user’s ID is 559be34bc1f1b3f3383671b7:

    SELECT id as user_id,
           idBoard
      FROM members
     WHERE id = '559be34bc1f1b3f3383671b7'
    

    Which returns the following:

    | id                       | idBoard                  |
    |--------------------------+--------------------------|
    | 559be34bc1f1b3f3383671b7 | 574f5d5202564aa4447e14a5 |
    
  2. Stitch queries for cards using the idBoard value returned in the first query:

    SELECT id as card_id,
           idBoard,
           <other card fields>
      FROM cards
     WHERE idBoard = '574f5d5202564aa4447e14a5'
    

    Which returns the following:

    | card_id                  | boardId                  |
    |--------------------------+--------------------------|
    | 5c26a3ce766676349d2f82d2 | 574f5d5202564aa4447e14a5 |
    | 5c2e83a628ffe90351d0208b | 574f5d5202564aa4447e14a5 |
    | 5c950cf7e1ad9b845171680b | 574f5d5202564aa4447e14a5 |
    

This approach is used for every table set to replicate. If you’re missing data, verify that the authorizing user is a member of the board.
