Staffic turns the cards on your Trello boards into tasks, your team tracks time on them with the Staffic desktop app, and the hours go back to each card as a comment. Admins connect Trello once in Settings > Integrations, on every Staffic plan, including Free.

In short

What is the Staffic Trello integration?

Staffic Trello time tracking is the Trello integration in Staffic. It imports the cards of the boards you pick as Staffic tasks, so people track time on them with activity levels and optional screenshots, then posts the time back to each card as one comment per person and day. It syncs every 15 minutes and is included in every plan.

How it works

How Trello time tracking works in Staffic

From a card on your board to hours on that card, in four steps.

04Comments appear on cardsEvery 15 minutes, or on Sync now, Staffic writes or updates each person's comment for the day.

Trello time tracking

Connect Trello, then pick the boards

Approve Staffic in Trello, choose which boards to bring in, and their cards become tasks your team can track time on.

Each board you choose syncs into a new Staffic project or one you already have. Cards closed more than 30 days ago stay out of the first import.

Your Trello boards, listed in the panel
A new or existing Staffic project for each board
Up to 100 boards per connection

Each card arrives with its name, description, due date and members, and keeps its card number, like #3, with a link back to Trello. A closed or completed card shows as Done; everything else is To do.

Trello has no time field of its own, so Staffic writes the time as a comment: one per person and day, such as Tracked in Staffic by Saimul Islam: 1h 10m on 2026-10-15. The comment is edited when the day's total changes.

One comment per person, card and day
Kept equal to Staffic for the last 31 days
Removed again if the time drops to zero

See Daily Timesheet

Trello hides most members' emails, so Staffic usually can't match people for you. Pick the Staffic member for each Trello member once in the People section, and their cards are assigned to them from then on.

Control and privacy

Admins and members stay in control

Your boards stay as they are; Staffic only reads cards and adds time comments.

Only admins connect Trello, choose boards and disconnect it.
Send tracked time back is a switch: turn it off and cards still import.
Set a board to Don't sync to keep it out of Staffic.
Members who need timesheet approval send only approved days.
Staffic never moves or edits a card, it only adds its comments.
Disconnect stops syncing; imported tasks and posted comments stay.

Set it up

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to common questions about Trello integration.

Read the Trello integration guide

Does Trello have a time tracker?

Trello's own Power-Up directory lists time tracking as Power-Ups from other companies, and every Trello plan allows unlimited Power-Ups, according to Trello's pricing page. Staffic connects to Trello directly: it imports your cards as tasks and posts the time back to each card.

Can Trello track time?

Yes, with an integration. With Staffic connected, people track time on their Trello cards with the Staffic desktop app, and each card gets a comment with every person's time for the day.

How do you add time tracking in Trello?

In Staffic, an admin goes to Settings > Integrations, connects Trello and picks the boards to sync. Nothing needs to be installed on the boards themselves; the cards show up in Staffic within minutes.

How do you track time with Trello and Staffic?

Each person opens the Staffic desktop app, picks the imported card and starts the timer. Staffic records the time with activity levels, and within 15 minutes the card shows a comment with that day's total.

How do you keep track of time spent on Trello projects?

Sync each board into its own Staffic project. Staffic timesheets and reports then show the hours per board, card and person, and the project shows its time against any budget you set.

Why do I link Trello members by hand?

Trello hides most members' emails from other apps, so Staffic can't match them by email. Link each Trello member to a Staffic member once in the People section and their cards are assigned to them from then on.

What happens if I disconnect Trello?

Syncing stops and Staffic no longer reaches your Trello account. Imported tasks stay in Staffic and the comments already posted stay on the cards.

How much does it cost to use the Staffic Trello integration?

Every plan includes the Staffic Trello integration. Free covers up to 2 members. Standard is $7.50 per user per month billed yearly ($3.80 during the current offer, until October 30, 2026) or $9.50 billed monthly, and Elite is $10.00 per user per month billed yearly ($4.80 during the current offer, until October 30, 2026) or $13.00 billed monthly.
