Gather Trello credentials

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials generated in Trello. Gather these credentials before you move on.

Important

A user with access to the Power-Up Admin Portal in Trello must perform this task.

Create a Trello Power-Up and generate an API key and token

1. Navigate to the Trello Power-Up Admin Portal and click New.

2. Give the new Power-Up a name, such as “C1”, and select your Trello Workspace.

3. Leave the Iframe connector URL field blank and fill out the rest of the form.

4. Click Create.

5. Navigate to your new Power-Up’s API key tab and click Generate a new API key.

6. Carefully copy and save the API key.

7. On the same page, next to your new API key, look for the hyperlinked word Token and click it.

8. Review the application’s scopes (read/write access) and click Allow.

9. The API token is generated. Carefully copy and save the API token.

Look up Trello organization slugs

Finally, look up the short name (slug) of each Trello organization you want to sync to C1.

1. In Trello, navigate to the organization’s workspace and copy the short name from the URL. The short name is the last segment of the URL — for example, my-org in https://trello.com/my-org.

2. Carefully copy and save the slug.

3. Repeat the steps as needed to collect the slugs of additional organizations.

Done. Next, move on to the connector configuration instructions.

Configure the Trello connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:

• The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in C1
• Access to the set of Trello credentials generated by following the instructions above

Cloud-hosted

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.

1. In C1, navigate to Integrations > Connectors and click Add connector.

2. Search for Trello and click Add.

3. Choose how to set up the new Trello connector:

   • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with C1)
   • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
   • Create a new managed app
4. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed. If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

5. Click Next.

6. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

7. Enter the required configuration:

   • API key: The API key for your Trello account
   • API token: The API token for your Trello account
   • Organizations: Limit syncing to specific organizations by providing organization slugs.
8. Click Save.

9. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

Done. Your Trello connector is now pulling access data into C1.

Self-hosted

Follow these instructions to use the Trello connector, hosted and run in your own environment.

When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with C1, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the C1 UI for access reviews and access requests.

Resources

• GitHub repository: Access the source code, report issues, or contribute to the project.

Step 1: Set up a new Trello connector

1. In C1, navigate to Integrations > Connectors > Add connector.

2. Search for Baton and click Add.

3. Choose how to set up the new Trello connector:

   • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with C1)
   • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
   • Create a new managed app
4. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed. If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

5. Click Next.

6. In the Settings area of the page, click Edit.

7. Click Rotate to generate a new Client ID and Secret. Carefully copy and save these credentials. We’ll use them in Step 2.

Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your Trello connector deployment:

Secrets configuration

# baton-trello-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: baton-trello-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  # C1 credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <C1 client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <C1 client secret>
  
  # Trello credentials
  BATON_API_KEY: <Trello API key>
  BATON_API_TOKEN: <Trello API token>
  BATON_ORGS: <Array of the slugs of Trello organizations to sync>

See the connector’s README or run --help to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

Deployment configuration

# baton-trello.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: baton-trello
  labels:
    app: baton-trello
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: baton-trello
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: baton-trello
        baton: "true"
        baton-app: trello
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: baton-trello
        image: public.ecr.aws/conductorone/baton-trello:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        env:
        - name: BATON_HOST_ID
          value: baton-trello
        envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: baton-trello-secrets

Step 3: Deploy the connector

1. Create a namespace in which to run C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.

2. Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In C1, click Apps. On the Managed apps tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the Trello connector to. Trello data should be found on the Entitlements and Accounts tabs.

Done. Your Trello connector is now pulling access data into C1.
