Trello connector for Manus

Update your Trello boards and cards just by asking

Connect your Trello account and Manus turns a plan or meeting notes into a board and cards, tells you what’s due or overdue this week, moves cards, adds checklists, assigns people and writes comments. It sorts your Inbox into the right boards and writes recaps of finished work. It can archive cards, but never permanently deletes them.

Questions about Trello AI and Manus

How do I connect Trello to Manus?

Open Connectors in Manus, choose Trello and select Connect. Sign in to Trello, choose the workspaces to share and approve access. After that, any task can use it.

Will Manus delete my Trello cards?

No. Manus can archive cards and lists, but it can’t permanently delete boards, lists or cards.

Does it work on the free Trello plan?

Yes. The connection works on every Trello plan, including Free. Custom fields need Standard or higher, and creating focus time in Planner needs Premium or Enterprise.

Can I give Manus access to only one workspace?

Yes. When you connect, Trello asks which workspaces to share. Manus can only use the ones you pick, and only do what your own Trello account can do. To change them later, disconnect and connect again.

Is Manus the same as the Trello AI features?

No. Trello’s own AI features, such as creating boards with AI and generated checklists, are part of Trello on Standard, Premium and Enterprise plans. Manus is a separate AI agent that connects to your Trello account and works across your boards, Inbox and Planner in one chat, together with your files and other connected apps.

Can I use Manus together with Trello automation?

Yes. Trello’s built-in automation, also called Butler, runs the rules, buttons and scheduled commands you set up on a board, such as archiving a card when it moves to Done. Manus is for work that needs reading the cards: turning notes into cards, sorting your Inbox or writing a recap across boards. To repeat that work, ask Manus to run it as a scheduled task.

Can Manus use the Trello integration with Google Calendar?

Yes, through Trello Planner. When you connect a Google or Outlook calendar to Planner, Manus can read those events and link cards to them. Creating focus time needs Premium or Enterprise.

Do I need to set up the Trello MCP server?

No. Trello MCP is Trello’s own server that lets AI assistants work with your boards. In Manus, the Trello MCP connector is already in Connectors, so there’s nothing to install or host: sign in once and any task can use it.

Do I need ChatGPT or Claude to use Trello with AI?

No. A Trello ChatGPT integration or a Trello Claude connector adds Trello to those apps. Manus connects to Trello on its own: sign in once in Connectors, and the same task can also research the web, write documents and use your other connected apps.

Can Manus attach files to Trello cards?

It can add web links to a card and read the attachments already on it. Uploading files from your computer to a card isn’t supported.

Can Manus send me a Trello recap every week?

Yes. Ask for it once as a scheduled task, for example every Monday at 9 AM. Each week Manus lists the cards finished last week and the cards due this week, by board.

Does Manus work with other project tools besides Trello?

Yes. This page is about Trello boards, cards and your Inbox. Manus also connects to tools such as Notion and Linear, and you’ll find them all in Connectors.

Can I disconnect Trello later?

Yes. Open Connectors in Manus, select Trello and choose Disconnect.
