Integrating Trello with Ziflow lets teams extend their Ziflow online proofing operations to Trello users can automatically create and update lists and tasks in Trello for new proofs, comments, decisions, and more to keep their team up to date

Available on: Pro Enterprise

Before setting up the integration between Ziflow and any third-party tool, you need to connect Ziflow with the application. 

Each user must create their own Trello connection to link cards to Ziflow proofs. This is a security measure. It ensures that users can only access and link to items they have permission to view in Trello, rather than inheriting access from an admin or another user.

Generate an access token in Trello.

  1. Go to the Trello website.
  2. Allow Ziflow to read and update your Trello data.

  3. Copy the generated access token. Save it in a text file for the next step.

  4. Log into Ziflow. From the main navigation pane, select the Connect tab.
  5. Select Applications to open the applications list. Find the Trello application and select Connect.

Connect Ziflow proofs with Trello cards
