Trello Project Tracking with Automated Slack Status Updates

Monitor Trello board activity across client projects, detect cards moving to key stages, and automatically post progress updates to the relevant Slack channels so clients and stakeholders stay informed without manual reporting.

How the workflow runs

The scenario uses specific integration tools at each step, while Metorial keeps access scoped and visible.

  1. 1

    Retrieve active project boards and card status

    List all active Trello boards and their cards to build a current snapshot of project status across all clients.

  2. 2

    Identify recent card movements and status changes

    Pull activity logs for each board to detect cards that have moved to milestone lists such as In Review, Approved, or Delivered.

    • atlassian-trello:get_activity
  3. 3

    Fetch full details for changed cards

    Retrieve complete card information including description, due dates, and attachments for cards that triggered status changes.

    • atlassian-trello:get_card

    Post status updates to Slack channels

    Send formatted project update messages to the relevant Slack channels for each client or project, summarizing what moved and what is pending.

Trello

Create, read, update, and delete boards, lists, and cards for project management. Manage checklists, labels, custom fields, attachments, and comments on cards. Search across boards, cards, members, and organizations. Assign members to cards and boards, manage workspace memberships, and configure board settings and preferences. Track activity history via actions and manage member notifications. Set up webhooks to receive real-time notifications when boards, cards, lists, or other models change.
