Setup

Step 1: Get your API key

2. Click New to create a new Power-Up (or use an existing one)
3. Fill in the required fields (name, workspace, iframe connector URL can be any URL)
4. After creating, click on your Power-Up and go to the API Key tab
5. Click Generate a new API Key
6. Copy the API Key

Step 2: Generate a token

1. On the same API Key page, click the Token link next to your API key
2. This opens an authorization page — click Allow
3. Copy the token displayed on the next page

Step 3: Add to Crow

Paste both values in Crow's Nest → Settings → Integrations, or on the Setup page at /setup.

The environment variables are TRELLO_API_KEY and TRELLO_TOKEN.

Required Permissions

Permission	Why
Read access	View boards, lists, cards, and members
Write access	Create, update, move, and archive cards
Account access	Read your account information and board membership

The token authorization page requests these permissions during the "Allow" step.

Troubleshooting

"invalid key" error

Make sure you're using the API Key (not the secret) from the Power-Up admin page. The key is a 32-character hexadecimal string.

"invalid token" error

Tokens can expire or be revoked. Generate a new one by clicking the Token link on your Power-Up's API Key page.

Can't see a specific board

The token grants access to all boards visible to your Trello account. If a board is missing, check that you're a member of that board in Trello.
