GitHub + Trello Integration
GitHub and Trello are both used by product teams — integrating them removes duplicated status updates and keeps work visible across both tools. GitHub lists it as a native integration, so setup takes minutes rather than Zapier workarounds.
Integration Status
Native integration available
GitHub lists Trello as a supported integration. Set it up via GitHub's integrations settings — no third-party automation platform required.
What teams use this integration for
Sync status automatically
When work progresses in GitHub, reflect that change in Trello automatically — reducing manual status updates and keeping stakeholders informed without extra effort.
Centralise team notifications
Route GitHub activity — new comments, assignments, and status changes — into Trello so your team stays informed in the tool they already have open.
Automate weekly reporting
Pull GitHub velocity, completed tasks, and blockers into Trello for weekly team reviews, sprint retrospectives, or stakeholder updates.
Connect planning to delivery
Link GitHub roadmap items to work tracked in Trello, giving stakeholders visibility from strategy to shipped — without switching between tools.
How to set it up
- Open GitHub's workspace settings and navigate to the Integrations or Apps section — GitHub lists 20+ native integrations.
- Search for Trello and click Connect or Install. You may need workspace owner or admin permissions in GitHub — check your role under Settings → Members.
- Authorise your Trello account when prompted. Use the account that owns the resources you want to sync (not a personal account).
- Configure the integration: choose which GitHub projects or spaces sync with which Trello resources, and select which events trigger notifications or updates.
- Test with a real item — create a task in GitHub and verify it appears or triggers correctly in Trello before enabling for your full team.
