Power-Ups are integrations and add-ons that extend Trello's core functionality, allowing you to connect tools like Slack, Google Drive, or Jira directly to your boards.

Can I use Trello offline?

Trello has mobile and desktop apps with limited offline capability. You can view and edit cards, and changes sync once you're back online.

How does the API rate limiting work?

Trello's REST API enforces rate limits to ensure stability. Requests are limited per API key and token, with different limits for different endpoints. Check the documentation for specific numbers.

What is a Power-Up's authentication model?

Power-Ups use OAuth 2.0 for secure authorization, allowing them to act on behalf of a user without storing their Trello credentials directly.

Trello

Trello is a web-based project management tool that uses boards, lists, and cards to organize tasks and workflows. It allows teams and individuals to create, assign, and track work visually through a drag-and-drop interface. Core features include Inbox for capturing tasks from email/Slack, Planner for calendar integration, and Butler for no-code automation. With a free tier supporting up to 10 collaborators and unlimited cards, it's designed for agile teams, startups, and remote workers needing flexible, visual task management. Power-Ups (integrations) with 200+ apps like Slack, Google Drive, and Salesforce extend its functionality, while AI features (Standard+ plans) handle summarization and board generation.
