Trello

Trello is a project management tool used to track team projects and ongoing tasks, show who they are assigned to, and get detailed progress towards completion. Trello is easy to integrate with the other software .

Trello authenticates API requests from Hevo to access your account data with HTTP Basic authentication.

• You are assigned the Team Administrator, Team Collaborator, or Pipeline Administrator role in Hevo to create the Pipeline.

Perform the following steps to create the access token:

1. Log in to your Trello account.

2. Visit Developers API Keys to obtain API Key and Server Token.

3. In the Developers API Keys section, copy the Personal Key and save it securely like any other password.

5. In the Server Token page, scroll down to the bottom, and click Allow.

   

6. Copy the token and save it securely like any other password.

   

You have successfully obtained your API Key and Server Token. Use these for creating Hevo Pipelines.

Data Replication

Default Pipeline Frequency	Minimum Pipeline Frequency	Maximum Pipeline Frequency	Custom Frequency Range (Hrs)
1 Hr	1 Hr	24 Hrs	1-24

Note: You must set the custom frequency in hours as an integer value. For example, 1, 2, 3 but not 1.5 or 1.75.

• Historical Data: In the first run of the Pipeline, Hevo ingests all historical data for all the objects except Cards and Actions objects and loads it to the Destination.

• Incremental Data: Once the historical load is complete, all new and updated records for the Cards object is synchronized with your Destination as per the Pipeline frequency.

---

Source Considerations

• Pagination: An API response for each Trello object fetches one page with up to 1000 records.

• Rate Limit: Trello imposes a limit of a maximum of 30 API calls per second for each API Key and 10 API calls per second for each Server token, except for the Boards object, which has a limit of 6 calls per minute, to ensure that their system remains stable for usage by all users.

Schema and Primary Keys

Hevo uses the following schema to upload the records in the Destination database:

Data Model

The following is the list of tables (objects) that are created at the Destination when you run the Pipeline:

Object	Mode	Description
Actions	Incremental	Contains the details of all the actions associated with Trello entities. For example, Trello action addAttachmentToCard means that attachment was added to a card.
Boards	Full	Contains the details of all the projects, teams, or workflows in an organized order. Boards allows you to organize your tasks which helps you to collaborate with your colleagues.
Cards	Incremental	Contains the details of all the tasks and ideas within a board.
Checklists	Full	Contains the list of all the subtasks within a card.
Labels	Full	Contains the details of the color tags used to organize cards within your Trello account. It is used to track which types of activities your team is spending time on.
Lists	Full	Contains the details of all the cards, to keep track of their progress. A card is a collection of ideas, things to remember, or different stages of a workflow.

Limitations
