Google adds Trello card creation to Google Chat conversations
By Automate Basics, written with AI from Google's original
Google says Trello for Google Workspace now lets people turn Google Chat messages into Trello cards, alongside its existing email feature. The updated app is available to Google Workspace customers and people with personal Google accounts who also have Trello accounts.
What changed
Google says Trello for Google Workspace now lets people create Trello cards from Google Chat messages as well as emails. The update gives teams a way to move a task mentioned in a conversation into Trello without leaving that conversation.
The refreshed app takes the place of Trello for Gmail and adds Chat support to what the earlier app could do. Google says people already using Trello for Gmail can keep using it without installing the app again or granting permission again. Creating cards from Chat does require adding the app to the relevant conversation and signing in. Google describes the feature as a way to capture work where it first comes up, rather than relying on someone to remember it later.
Who can use Trello for Google Workspace?
Google says the app is available now for all Google Workspace customers and people with personal Google accounts. A Trello account is also required. The announcement does not give a price for the app or say whether a paid Trello plan is needed.
Workspace administrators can install the app for their users. People installing it themselves need their administrator to allow it. Google says the update is available in both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains, so the announcement does not describe a separate wait for either group. Existing Trello for Gmail users do not need to reinstall or authorize the updated app, though they still need to set it up in Chat before creating cards from messages there.
How do I try it at work?
A task agreed in a Google Chat conversation is a sensible first thing to turn into a Trello card. Google says to bring Trello for Google Workspace into the Chat space or direct message where the task came up, then complete the sign-in request. If your organization controls app installs, check that your administrator allows the app before trying to add it.
Start with a message that contains a clear action rather than a long discussion with several possible next steps. After creating the card, check that it captures the intended task and has not left out important context from the conversation. Google does not specify in this announcement which card details you can edit during creation, so inspect the finished card in Trello before treating it as an accurate record of the work.
