Configure Trello Connectivity for Excel
Connectivity to Trello from Excel is made possible through Connect Spreadsheets . To work with Trello data from Excel, we start by creating and configuring a Trello connection.
- Log into Connect Spreadsheets, click Connections and click Add Connection
- Select "Trello" from the Add Connection panel
-
Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Trello.
Trello uses token-based authentication to grant third-party applications access to their API. When a user has granted an application access to their data, the application is given a token that can be used to make requests to Trello's API.
Trello's API can be accessed in 2 different ways. The first is using Trello's own Authorization Route, and the second is using OAuth1.0.
- Authorization Route: At the moment of registration, Trello assigns an API key and Token to the account. See the Help documentation for information on how to connect via the Authorization route.
- OAuth Route: Similar to using Authorization, OAuth creates an Application Id and Secret when you create your account. See the Help documentation for information on how to to connect.
- Click Create & Test
With the connection configured, you are ready to connect to Trello data from Excel for the web.
