BoardSnap and Trello: the manual workflow that takes under two minutes.
Short answer
BoardSnap does not have a direct integration with Trello. There is no automatic card creation or board sync. The workflow is to copy action items from BoardSnap and create Trello cards manually — given BoardSnap's structured output, this takes about two minutes for a typical meeting's worth of items.
## No native connection
BoardSnap and Trello are not connected. No OAuth link, no automation, no shared data pipeline. This is because BoardSnap has no public API — so third-party integrations can't be built on top of it yet.
## Why Trello users still find BoardSnap useful
Trello is a visual kanban tool. The pain point it doesn't solve is the step before the board: getting decisions and action items out of a meeting and into Trello in the first place. That's exactly what BoardSnap handles.
The typical pre-BoardSnap workflow:
- Take notes or photos during the meeting
- Spend 10–20 minutes post-meeting translating them into Trello cards
- Chase down teammates for their items
- Miss things that were on the whiteboard but not in anyone's notes
The BoardSnap workflow:
- Snap the board at the end of the meeting
- Review the action item list (~30 seconds)
- Paste into Trello (~2 minutes)
## The copy-to-Trello process
- In BoardSnap, view the action item list for your board
- Tap Share → Copy as text
- Open Trello
- In the relevant list, tap Add a card
- Paste the first item as the card title
- Repeat for remaining items (Trello's quick-add makes this fast)
Alternatively, email or Slack the list to yourself and process it from your laptop where Trello is easier to use.
## What a native integration would add
Push action items directly to a specified Trello list, pre-labeled and with due dates from BoardSnap's analysis. That's the vision. It requires a BoardSnap API. No timeline yet — email [email protected] to register interest.
Frequently asked
Will BoardSnap ever integrate with Trello?
Trello has a public API, so a native integration is possible once BoardSnap ships its own API. No timeline is committed. Email [email protected] to register interest.
Can I email the BoardSnap output and create Trello cards from email?
Trello has an email-to-board feature that lets you create cards by sending email to a specific address. You could email yourself the BoardSnap action items and forward them to your Trello email address.
