What it does
Sends a Slack notification whenever a Trello card is moved between lists on a specific board. Message format (bolded parts): Task: {{ $json.Task }} moved from {{ $json'Previous Step' }} to {{ $json'New Step' }} ⚙️ Setup Instructions 1️⃣ Connect Trello (Developer API) 1. Get your API key here → Trello App Key 2. On the same page, generate a Token (click Token). 3. In n8n → Credentials → New → Trello API → paste API Key + Token, then save. 4. Open each Trello node (Get Board, Get Lists, Get Cards) and select your Trello credential. --- 2️⃣ Connect Slack 1. Go to Slack API Apps and create a new app. 2. Add OAuth & Permissions → include scopes like: - chat:write (to send messages) - users:read (if targeting specific users) 3. Install the app to your workspace → copy the Bot User OAuth Token. 4. In n8n → Credentials → New → Slack OAuth2 API → paste the token and save. 5. In your Slack node (e.g., Send a message), select your Slack credential, and choose whether to send messages to a channel or a user. 3️⃣ Get Your Trello Board ID Find your board’s shortlink in the URL (e.g. in https://trello.com/b/DCpuJbnd/administrative-tasks, the shortlink is DCpuJbnd). Run this request in an HTTP node (replace placeholders with your values): GET https://api.trello.com/1/boards/{BOARDSHORTLINK}?fields=id&key={YOURTRELLOKEY}&token={YOURTRELLOTOKEN} Copy the "id" from the response — that’s your board ID. Paste it into the Trello Trigger node under Model ID. 📬 Contact Need help customizing this workflow or building automations? 📧 robert@ynteractive.com(mailto:robert@ynteractive.com) 🔗 Robert Breen 🌐 ynteractive.com
