Trello

The robomotion trello CLI connects to Trello for visual project management. It manages boards, lists, and cards with full lifecycle support — creating, moving, archiving cards; adding labels, checklists, and attachments; managing members; and handling comments.

When to use

• Create, update, move, or archive cards across lists and boards
• Manage labels, checklists, and checklist items on cards
• Add attachments and comments to cards
• List and manage boards, lists, and members

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install trello
• Trello API key and token configured via Robomotion vault

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install trello
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion trello trello_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion trello trello_create_card --client-id "<client-id>" --list-id <list> --name <name> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion trello trello_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
