Connect GitHub to Trello
Automate GitHub and Trello with AI
Some teams still plan in Trello while code lives in GitHub. On Operator.io, an OpenClaw agent keeps cards aligned with pull requests: a card move to in review can link the open PR, and a merge to main archives the card with the commit hash in the comment. Create work from chat and it opens both a Trello card with acceptance criteria and a GitHub issue with the same title.
It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.
What your agent can do with GitHub and Trello
What your agent does in GitHub
Abort Repository Migration
Tool to abort a repository migration that is queued or in progress. Use when you need to cancel an ongoing migration operation.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a PENDING repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Add app access restrictions
Adds GitHub Apps to the list of apps allowed to push to a protected branch. The branch must already have protection rules with restrictions enabled. This endpoint only works for organization repositories, not personal repositories. Apps...
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a GitHub user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation ma...
Add assignees to an issue
Adds assignees to a GitHub issue. This action only adds users - it does not remove existing assignees. Changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's GitHub account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the...
What your agent does in Trello
Add board
Creates a new Trello board; the 'name' parameter is required for creation, and various preferences can be customized or cloned from a source board.
Add card
Creates a new card in a Trello list. Only `idList` is required; `idBoard` is optional as the API determines the board from the list.
Add comment to card
Adds a new text comment, which can include @mentions, to a Trello card specified by its ID; file attachments are not supported via this action.
Add attachment to card
Adds an attachment to a Trello card by `idCard`; specify either a `file` to upload or a `url` to link, but not both.
Add checklist to card via id
Adds a checklist to a Trello card: use `value` to add a specific existing checklist, `idChecklistSource` to create a new checklist by copying an existing one (optionally using `name` for the new checklist's name), or `name` to create a n...
Add label to card
Adds an existing label to a Trello card; `idCard` identifies the card and `value` is the ID of the label to add. Both card and label must already exist.
How it works
Tell the agent what you want to happen between GitHub and Trello, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from GitHub, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Trello without you mapping a single field.
You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.
Common questions about GitHub and Trello
- How do I connect GitHub and Trello to Operator?
- You authorize GitHub and Trello once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.
- What can my agent do across GitHub and Trello?
- Tell it the job and it moves between GitHub and Trello as one task, choosing which actions to run on each side. There is nothing to map and no trigger to configure; you give instructions the way you would to a person.
- Can my agent keep GitHub and Trello in sync?
- Yes. It can watch GitHub and act in Trello, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.
- Do I need to build a workflow or write code?
- No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.
