Timely automatic time tracker icon

Bring Trello and Timely together for effortless, AI-driven time tracking - every card synced, every hour captured, your whole day logged in one click.

Effortless time tracking across projects

Trello boards, lists, and cards automatically sync to Timely as clients, projects, and tasks so your teams can track time directly against the work they already manage in Trello, without any manual setup or duplication. No more guessing or manual tracking. 

Trello Boards import to Timely Projects

Once you connect Trello and Timely, you'll get a clear view of how your team spends their time. Your team can track time right where they're already working, no copying things over, no duplicate entries, no hassle.

Seamless end-to-end project management

Use Trello for what it does best: planning and organizing work. Then let Timely handle the time tracking within budgets and resources. You'll get insights into your team's utilization and protect your revenue with AI driven time capture. Plus live reports and easy invoicing for effective project delivery. It's the complete picture. 

Connect Trello to Timely within minutes

How it works

Connecting Trello to Timely is a workspace-wide integration. You'll need admin access in both Trello and Timely to set this up. Just head over to the Settings < Ecosystem section in Timely, select the ClickUp option, and follow the prompts to get connected.

Set it up your way

Pick whichever structure makes sense for how you work:

Standard mapping: Organizations → Clients, Boards → Projects, Cards → Tasks
Custom mapping: Boards → Clients, Lists → Projects, Cards → Tasks

The integration bends to fit your workflow, so you never have to change the way you work just to make it fit.

Easily track time spent on Trello Cards

Everything stays in sync

Make a change in Trello, and it'll show up in Timely automatically. Create new lists, update cards, mark things as done - everything syncs in real time so your team stays aligned. When you mark a Trello card as Done, the task in Timely gets completed too.

All the details come along

Each task that syncs over includes:

  • Card title, start date, and due date
  • Labels (they become tags in Timely for easier reporting)
  • Coming soon! A direct link back to the original Trello card

Labels become tags

Your Trello labels automatically turn into Timely tags, which makes filtering and reporting so much easier. You can quickly see how time's being spent across different categories and priorities.

Why this matters

Nobody wants to do the same work twice. With Trello and Timely connected, you don't have to recreate tasks, duplicate entries, or wonder where all the time went. You get Trello's visual boards plus Timely's automatic tracking, so you can see exactly what's happening with your projects and whether you're on track, all without changing a thing about how you already work.

Who'll love this?

  • Companies that bill by the hour
  • Digital agencies, consultants, and accountants
  • Remote teams
  • Project delivery managers, operations managers, and project managers
  • Project management consultants

What you'll need

To use this integration, you'll need a Timely Premium, Unlimited or Enterprise plan. Your workspace admin will need to enable it first, then everyone can connect their own Trello accounts.

This integration is used to track the time spent on Trello boards, but does not sync with your Timely projects. If you’ve set up new projects in Timely, they will not appear on your Trello account.

Details

Existing data from Trello will be imported based on your settings. 

What Gets Synced:

  • Organizations → Clients
  • Boards → Projects (or Clients in custom mapping)
  • Lists → Projects (in custom mapping)
  • Cards → Tasks (only when assigned and have both start and due dates)
  • Labels → Tags

Task Sync Rules

Tasks are only imported if assigned and have both a start and due date. This ensures that only actionable work items appear in Timely.

Tasks assigned to inactive or non-existing users in Timely will be imported as unassigned. Once the user becomes active, the task will be properly assigned on the next sync.

Data Safeguards

To protect your data and avoid duplication:

  • Timely won't delete or change tasks if a Trello card is deleted
  • Tasks won't be duplicated if items are renamed or moved in Trello after initial sync
  • Newly created boards are automatically imported
