Trello is one of the most popular collaboration tools out there. Users value this tool for transparency and easy work integration. With TimeCamp Trello integration, you can automatically track time spent on every task, meeting, or project – without leaving your favorite tool:
No manual timers (100% automatic time tracking)
Track time with Trello cards
Create reports based on tracked time and time entry descriptions
Track time on imported items
Trello does many things great. It helps you organize your daily tasks, manage your team, and stay productive. And with Trello Inbox, you’re constantly up to speed with all the communications (whether it’s via email, Slack, or other tools). What’s more, Trello even enables you to automate some tasks and workflows with custom-made rules.
So, in terms of how much time your team spends on different tasks and projects, you don’t get the full picture. And the truth is that time-tracking data is immensely important!
If Trello is the only team management tool you use, it is likely you’re missing some of the puzzle pieces that are necessary to make your work more efficient. And of course, you can go with manual time tracking, but manual data entry slows down your team and adds yet another thing to their to-do list.
If you want to be effective and help your team save as much time as possible, you should consider a tool that offers fully automatic time tracking. That’s where TimeCamp comes in! Our tool adds automatic, effortless time tracking to your existing workflow, thus making your work even more transparent and easier to manage.
TimeCamp is one of the many tools you can connect to your Trello account. Once you go through the integration process, the connection will be enabled for the entire account, so all users will be able to track time on imported tasks. However, keep in mind that the integration itself will be connected to the Trello account of the person who enabled the integration (usually, a team manager’s account).
We’ve made sure to streamline Trello integration as much as possible. First off, you need to be the Administrator of the account to enable the integration. Also, if you use a free version of Trello, you will get a limited integration (within Trello Power-Ups). If you want to enable Trello integration in your TimeCamp account, simply follow these steps:
To enable the Trello integration, go to your TimeCamp account, navigate to the plugin icon and select the Integrations option. Next, find the Trello integration on the list and click the Enable button.
Next, click the green Enable integration button in the Trello section.
You’ll be redirected to Trello and asked for confirmation to enable the integration. Click the Allow button.
Your next step will be selecting boards that should be synchronized to TimeCamp. Import them all or mark specific ones with checkboxes and save your changes.
You're done!
You may also need to toggl track icon. Now, your Boards, Lists, and Cards will be imported to the Projects module in TimeCamp. All imported items will be accessible for you to track time using TimeCamp’s timesheets, mobile, desktop application, browser plugin, or power-ups.
Combining those two tools can help you create a true productivity booster in your company. Time tracking is a natural extension of what Trello offers, so with both tools in place, you can enjoy really helpful features and benefits:
You can track time directly on cards, lists, and boards imported from Trello, which gives you precise insight into how long tasks actually take (which is very helpful if you want to identify potential bottlenecks). Every time entry as well as work hours are tracked.
New Trello items sync automatically (or instantly with the Force Synchronization option), ensuring both tools are fully aligned and display accurate data, so you no longer need to rely on estimated hours for your team members.
Boards, lists, and cards are automatically imported into TimeCamp’s Projects module, so you don’t have to recreate your task structure manually and can maintain focus more easily. If you create a new item in Trello, it will be automatically imported to TimeCamp within 4 hours (you can also force immediate import).
With all Trello activity tracked in TimeCamp, you can generate detailed reports to analyze workload, productivity, and project progress. They also immensely help you with work schedule management. The history of tracked time will be added to the TimeCamp Time Report on each card.
Once the integration is enabled, all users will be automatically assigned to the Trello project and tasks as Regular users, and you can track projects they're working on. From here, they can track time on Trello tasks they’re assigned to, thus improving transparency and collaboration.
Productivity and time management go hand in hand. You cannot optimize your workflows or spot inefficiencies if you don’t know how much time each task or project requires. Also, billing your clients becomes a challenge. When you have a TimeCamp + Trello tandem working for you, you have access to useful insights that enable you to make the most of your time.
When you have both tools working for you, you create a synergy effect where productivity, project, and time-tracking data come together to provide you with a full picture of your company’s operations and effectiveness.
If you are a Trello user, TimeCamp will enable you to get accurate time data to optimize your processes, simplify workflows, boost productivity, and make better business decisions.

Once the integration is activated, it applies to the entire TimeCamp account. All users are automatically assigned as Regular users in Trello and can track time on imported tasks.
Unfortunately, currently, we don't provide an option to import custom fields from Trello cards.
New Trello items are automatically synced approximately every 4 hours. If you want immediate updates, you can use the Force synchronization option on the Timesheet to sync data within seconds.
Unfortunately, no. TimeCamp imports boards as tasks and lists/cards as subtasks under the main Trello project, and the structure cannot be edited inside TimeCamp.
Yes! TimeCamp uses advanced encryption and is fully compliant with most privacy regulations, including GDPR.
If, for any reason, you would like to reenable or unlink the integration, navigate to the plugin icon in your TimeCamp dashboard and select the Integrations option. Next, find the Trello integration on the list of active integrations and click Settings. In the Settings tab, you will find the Unlink integration button.
Yes, limited integration with Trello is available even with our free plan.
