Connector Configuration

The Trello Connector interacts with Trello via REST APIs. This requires an API key and token generated in Trello.

​
Generate API Key and Token in Trello

  1. Create a Trello Power-Up.
  2. Generate a new API key for the Power-Up. Add the Search AI host URL to Allowed Origins.
  3. Generate an API token to grant Search AI access to your Trello account.
  4. Save the API key and token for use in the connector configuration.

Content Ingestion

After connecting, go to the Configuration tab to set up synchronization. Use Sync Now for an immediate sync or Schedule Sync to automate future syncs. Search AI ingests both boards and cards from Trello. The type field in each ingested record indicates whether it is a board or a card. For both boards and cards, the content field includes:
  • Description
  • Due date
  • Author
  • Comments
Card records also include a board metadata field that identifies the board the card belongs to.

​
RACL Support

Search AI enforces access control for Trello content based on board visibility and membership. Each card in Trello is associated with a board, and each board has a defined visibility level (Private, Workspace, Public, or Organization). When content is ingested:
  • The board ID is stored in the sys_racl field for both the board and its cards.
  • Board IDs serve as permission entities controlling access to the content.
  • Search AI automatically resolves permission entities for Trello — it identifies which users have access to each board in Trello and associates them with the corresponding board ID in Search AI.
Boards with Organization visibility are not currently supported. Content from such boards will not be ingested.
