Creating a Trello Board

You can create Trello boards from your CRM account for Leads, Deals, Cases, and Purchase orders modules. Once the boards are created, a custom module called "Trello Board" is added in CRM, which will display the boards that are created. Each board generates a unique URL link that you can share with your teams.

            

1. Private - If you choose private, the board can be viewed, accessed and managed only by the user who have configured the Trello account.
   
2. Public - If you choose public, all users who have CRM account can access the extension and view the board. Users who don't have a CRM account can view the board through the board URL. However, they will not be able to edit or delete the boards. 
   

1. In Zoho CRM, go to Setup > Marketplace > Installed.
   
2. In the Extension Details page, click Settings.
    
   
3. In the New Board Creation page, enter the Board Name.
   
4. Select the Module from the drop-down list.
   
5. In Board Privacy, choose Private or Public.
   
   
6. Click Create Board.
   The Trello board will be created for the selected module and data from that module will be synchronized with the board. You can login to your Trello account and view the board.
   
   
   

Managing Boards from CRM

1. In the New Board Creation page, click Manage Boards.
   Alternately, you can click the Trello Boards custom tab in Zoho CRM. The boards created for Zoho CRM modules will be listed. 
2. Click Edit or Remove.
3. Click the board URL to access the board in Trello.
   The URLs displayed under each board are unique links that are auto generated when boards are created.
   
   
   

Note

Board creation synchronizes CRM records with Trello. The Lists and Cards that are displayed under each board are: 

1. Board for the Deals module will list every Deal Stage as a List. Records corresponding to the stage are added as Cards to the List.
   
2. Board for the Leads module will list every Lead Status as a List. Records corresponding to the Lead Status are added as Cards to the List.
   
3. Board for the Cases module will list every Status as a List. Records corresponding to the Status re added as Cards to the List.
   
4. Board for the Purchase Orders module will list every Status as a List. Records corresponding to the Status are added as Cards to the List.
   

Working with Zoho CRM Records

1. If you delete any record from a CRM module, the corresponding card will be removed from the list in a Trello board.
   
2. If you move a card from one list to another in Trello, the change will be updated in the CRM module.
