FAQ

You can connect as many Trello accounts as you want!

You have two options:

  • Move the source card in Trello to a different list when you mark it as done in Akiflow just setting up a Completion List Value in the settings.

    Vice versa can be achieved when you uncheck a marked as done task in Akiflow.

  • Archive the source card on Trello

When you mark as done a task imported from Trello, a pop-up will appear with the following options:

  1. Change list in Trello

  2. Archive in Trello

  3. Mark as done in Trello

  4. Go to Trello

  5. Do nothing

We can remember your choice if you select that option!

Archiving a Trello card marks the corresponding task as done in Akiflow. Unarchiving removes the archive completion signal. The task is marked as undone if its due-date checkbox is unchecked and it is not in a list configured as completed.

  • Pick which Trello cards to delete:

  • Delete all your tasks

    • Go to Settings β†’ Integrations β†’ Trello

    • Click on the button β€œReset integration”. This action will delete all the tasks imported so far from Trello in Akiflow. Nothing will happen to your source tasks in Trello.

    • Disconnect your Trello account by clicking on the bin icon in the top right corner of this page.

    • Reconnect Trello by going back to Integrations β†’ Trello

When you delete a task on Akiflow, nothing happens to the source task in Trello.

Akiflow and Trello are 2-way synched.

Any changes you make in Akiflow to the task's title, planned date, deadline, and status (done/undone) will be reflected on Trello and the other way around!

Tasks are imported as single instances, not as recurring tasks.

  • Imported tasks cannot be set as recurring.

  • When the Trello recurring task is marked as done, the corresponding Akiflow task is moved to the next recurrence.

  • This is the same task, marked as undone and placed in the new recurrence; a new task is not created.

  • Remember, you can configure the integration to automatically mark a Trello card as done when you complete the corresponding Akiflow task.

A Trello card is marked as done in Akiflow when any of these conditions applies:

β€’ The card is moved to a list you configured as completed.

β€’ The card’s due-date checkbox is checked, even when the card is not in a configured completed list.

β€’ The card is archived.

These methods work independently. When none of these conditions applies, the task is marked as undone in Akiflow.

This happens when your Trello integration was disconnected for a while and you then reconnected it. If you haven't used Akiflow for some time, your integrations disconnect automatically, and their status in Settings β†’ Integrations shows Disconnected - inactive account. You can also disconnect an integration yourself.

While the integration is disconnected, nothing syncs between Trello and Akiflow. When you reconnect, Akiflow imports the cards that are open in Trello. If you moved a card to a completed list or checked its due-date checkbox while disconnected, Akiflow marks it as done, because the card is still open in Trello. If you archived or deleted a card in Trello during that time, Akiflow doesn't import it, so it stays open in Akiflow. Everything you do in Trello after reconnecting syncs as usual.

To clean up these tasks, you can:

  • Complete or delete them in Akiflow. If a pop-up asks what to do in Trello, choose Do nothing, since the card is already archived. You can select several tasks at once β†’ How to bulk edit tasks

  • Reset the integration. Go to Settings β†’ Integrations, click your Trello account, open the … menu and choose Reset integration. Akiflow deletes every task imported from that Trello account and imports your open Trello cards again, so only those come back. Details you added only in Akiflow, like tags or a time slot, are lost. Nothing changes in Trello.
