⚙️ Setup Instructions

1️⃣ Connect Trello (Developer API)

  1. Get your API key: Trello App Key
  2. On the same page, generate a Token (click Token)
  3. In n8nCredentials → New → Trello API, paste your API Key + Token, then save.
  4. Open each Trello node (Get Board, Get Lists, Get Cards) and select your Trello credential.

🧠 How It Works

  • Schedule Trigger: Runs daily (can be customized).
  • Get Board → Get Lists → Get Cards: Pulls every task, its list, due date, and description.
  • Map Fields: Normalizes the data (board name, list name, task name, description, due date, URL).
  • Today's Date Node: Adds a timestamp column so each run is logged.
  • Google Sheets (Append): Appends all task rows into a sheet → creating a daily history log.
