About the ONLYOFFICE and Trello integration
Trello is a project management tool that helps teams organize tasks and collaborate efficiently. ONLYOFFICE offers an official connector to integrate ONLYOFFICE Docs or ONLYOFFICE Docs Cloud with Trello and edit and collaborate on office documents within your Trello workspace. You can get the ONLYOFFICE integration module from the official marketplace. The application is distributed under the Apache license.
Connecting ONLYOFFICE Docs to Trello
Installing and configuring the ONLYOFFICE integration module for Trello
To install the ONLYOFFICE application:
- Open your Trello board and click on Show menu on the right side.
-
Go to Power-Ups and search for ONLYOFFICE.
- Click on the ONLYOFFICE Power-Up and then Add. Confirm the addition, and ONLYOFFICE will be enabled for your board.
Once you have your ONLYOFFICE Docs instance ready, you’ll need to configure it in Trello:
-
Click on the ONLYOFFICE button on the right Power-Ups panel. Enter the following details:
- Document Server Address: The URL of your ONLYOFFICE Docs Cloud or self-hosted server.
- JWT Secret (Optional): To protect your documents, you can enable JWT (JSON Web Token). You can find this information in your ONLYOFFICE Docs settings or the registration email if using the cloud version.
- JWT Header: If using JWT, specify the custom header name here.
- Click Save to apply the settings.
Start using ONLYOFFICE in Trello
With everything set up, you can now work on your documents directly within Trello cards:
Viewing and Editing: You’ll see the ONLYOFFICE button in the Power-Ups section — click it to view the list of attachments. To edit a file, click Open in ONLYOFFICE next to the desired attachment.
Collaboration: To collaborate efficiently with your team, enable real-time co-editing by selecting either Fast or Strict mode, and make use of comments and Track Changes.
Saving changes: Changes are saved in a new file with the same name as the original. The edited version is available within the card for easy access.
