3) Import your Trello Board in Gmail

Choose a Trello Board to import into Gmail.

You're all done; you can now access your board in Gmail and sync actions in real-time between Trello and Gmail.

What can this integration do?

• Export a Gmelius board to Trello. It will allow you to share it with stakeholders - not part of your Gmelius subscription, e.g., clients, partners.
• Import a Trello board into Gmail to process your projects in Gmail and action all your emails as task cards- Converting emails into task cards can happen automatically or selectively via shared labels or your Gmelius buttons.
• Rename and manage your board columns in Trello and Gmail.
• Delete boards from Gmail or Trello.

Task Actions

The current version allows you:

• Create task cards from Trello or Gmail.
• Automate the creation of email task cards in Trello.
• Move task cards in Trello and Gmail.
• Apply & update due dates.

What is synced inside a task card:

• Notes and mentions from Trello to Gmelius and the other way around.
• Card priority and tags.
• Status change.
• The task's description.
• If a card is based on an email, the card's description will be a part of the email body (n.b., character restrictions apply), and it will include the shared email permalink as an attachment.

Disable the integration

You no longer need to sync a board with a client or a team; a collaborator changed or got carried away and shared the incorrect board? No worries, you can as easily disable the integration.

Go to More > Board Settings > Settings > Trello Sync > click on Remove Trello Integration.
