What counts as an item in sync?
For Trello, Unito counts both cards and checklists as items in sync. So if you sync a Trello card that has a checklist, Unito will count that as two synced items.

Custom fields in Trello and other options for customization
Our Trello integration supports a number of custom fields and other customization settings.
Custom fields
The custom fields supported by this integration are Single-Select dropdown, Number, Checkbox, Date, and Text fields. You can also build rules with the Single-Select dropdown fields.
Checklists
Trello checklists can be synced with other tools that have subtasks, such as Asana or Jira. The status, assignees, and due dates of these checklist items will also be synchronized.
Default list
When a Trello card is created to match a task in another tool — like a Jira issue — you can determine which list it will be created under in Trello.
Attachment streaming
You can stream Trello attachments, meaning anyone with the link can view the files from other tools without logging into Trello.
Attachments synced from one board to another are automatically transferred as an attachment, rather than a link.
Where should I access Unito as a Trello user?
You have two options for setting up Unito flows with a Trello account:
- Directly from Unito's standalone sync platform for more functionality and flexibility when connecting additional apps or tools.
- Embedded in your Trello board with Unito's 2-Way Board Sync and Mirroring Power-Up if you prefer syncing data from your Trello workspace.
Here's a guide to our other Trello Power-Ups.
Limitations and compatibility
We’re constantly looking to better support Trello’s growing list of features, fields, and use-cases. Here are a few common limitations you should be aware of:
-
Copied checklists do not sync.
-
Checklist members and due dates can only be synced with other Trello boards or Jira projects.
-
Start Dates can’t be synced yet.
-
Most non-Unito Power-Up data can’t be synced. For example, an Epic created through the Hello Epics Power-Up can’t be synced with Unito.
Unito is compatible with all tiers of Trello, paid and free.
Necessary permissions and authorization
In order to sync the things you care about, Unito needs the authorization to make changes within your tools. Here's what Unito needs to access your Trello boards.
Make sure the user account selected for the flow is a member of the Trello Board you want to sync.
OAuth Scopes
Read | Reading of boards, organizations, etc. on behalf of the user. |
Write | Writing of boards, organizations, etc. on behalf of the user. |
Account | Read member email, writing of member info, and marking notifications as read. |
