OpenClaw + Trello Integration Guide — Connect Your AI Agent

Why Connect OpenClaw with Trello?

Trello is one of the most popular tools for task management and kanban boards. By integrating OpenClaw with Trello, your AI agent can automatically interact with your Trello workspace — reading data, sending messages, and triggering actions without manual intervention.

What You Can Build

• Automated responses — Your AI agent monitors Trello and responds to messages, questions, or events automatically
• Data sync — Pull data from Trello into your agent's context for smarter decisions
• Notifications — Get AI-generated summaries and alerts in Trello
• Workflow triggers — Use Trello events to trigger complex AI workflows

Setup Guide

Prerequisites

• OpenClaw installed on your server (Quick install guide)
• A Trello account with API access or webhook permissions
• Basic familiarity with OpenClaw configuration

Step 1: Configure OpenClaw Channel

OpenClaw supports Trello as a native channel. Add the Trello configuration to your OpenClaw config file:

channels:
  trello:
    enabled: true
    # Add your Trello credentials here

Step 2: Set Up Your Agent's Personality

Create a SOUL.md file that defines how your agent behaves in Trello. The personality should match the context — professional for work tools, friendly for community platforms.

Step 3: Test the Integration

Send a test message in Trello and verify your OpenClaw agent responds correctly. Check the OpenClaw logs for any connection issues.

1. Help desk — Answer team questions automatically in Trello
2. Daily summaries — AI-generated reports posted to Trello every morning
3. Onboarding — Guide new users through setup via Trello messages
