How to set up Trello boards as signage

  • Updated

The Trello app allows for displaying a Trello board directly on an Airtame-powered screen. This is a great way to keep a team updated on the progress of a project, showcase a product roadmap, or manage any workflow visually. Using the Trello app for digital signage means that any updates made to the Trello board will be automatically reflected on the screen without any changes needed in the Airtame settings.

This should not be confused with screen sharing a Trello board from a laptop or mobile device. To learn more about screen sharing, please refer to the relevant articles for computers and mobile devices.

How-to

  1. Log into an Airtame Cloud organization.

  2. From the Screens menu, select one or multiple screens.

  3. Click the Edit settings button.

  4. In the Signage menu, click the Add button in the Default Playlist section.

  5. Select the Trello app.

  6. Click the Log in to Trello button and follow the authentication steps.

  7. Use the dropdown menu to select the desired Board.

  8. Select up to 5 Lists to display on the screen.

  9. Optional: Adjust the Text scaling to fit the screen.

  10. Optional: Choose the Detail level to show or hide card details.

  11. Click the Save button to save the app.

  12. Click the Save button to save the playlist.

  13. Click the Apply button to apply the changes to the selected screens.

After a few moments, the selected Trello board will appear on the Airtame screen. If the Trello app is not the first item in the playlist, the apps preceding it will be displayed first. To test the setup, the Trello app can be temporarily moved to the top of the playlist.

The Trello app configured in Airtame Cloud.
