Claude Trello Connector: Connect Trello to Claude
Yes. Add the Carly connector to Claude, connect Trello, and you can set up triggers right from the chat: when this happens on a board, do that. “When a card moves to Done, email the client that it’s finished.” You type it once in Claude. Carly sends it every time, whether Claude is open or not.
Where Claude and Trello fall short today
Trello launched its official Trello connector for Claude in July 2026. It creates boards, adds cards and reads your lists well. Here’s where it stops:
- It can’t assign people to cards. Assigning members through the connector is still an open feature request on Atlassian’s tracker.
- Checklists can go missing. Reading a card doesn’t return its checklist, per an open bug from October.
- Permissions are set once. If you need a permission you didn’t grant at sign-in, you disconnect and reconnect.
- It only works while you chat. A card moved to Done or a due date that passes waits until someone opens Claude and asks.
How Carly fixes it
- Two minutes to set up. Add the Carly connector, sign in to Trello in Carly, done.
- Triggers on cards and boards. When a card moves, gets assigned or goes overdue, Carly acts.
- It reaches people outside Trello. Carly emails clients, texts the assignee and puts due dates on their calendar.
- Work flows in. Emails, forms and meetings become cards in the right list, and Carly connects to thousands of apps, including Gmail, Slack and Google Calendar.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
