Pilot + Trello: your boards connected to the CRM, the calendar, and the AI agent
Sync your Trello boards and cards with Pilot's AI layer. The AI creates cards from conversations, moves lists based on context, and links every card to the corresponding customer. Compatible via Zapier today, native OAuth integration on the roadmap.
What Trello does with Pilot
Pilot is an AI-driven, end-to-end business system, fully turnkey: projects, tasks, CRM, communication, and operations are all included. If you also use Trello, Pilot connects your boards and orchestrates them with AI, without asking you to migrate or switch tools.
Trello remains the most used kanban board for small and mid-size teams thanks to its simplicity; you drag cards between lists and everyone understands what's happening. Its historical weakness: asking the team to log cards based on what they discuss over WhatsApp, email, or a call is boring work nobody does.
Pilot connects with Trello today via Zapier and via the Trello REST API. It's real compatibility: you define a Zap that creates cards on a board when Pilot detects an event (a new qualified lead, a deal won, a pending task with a VIP customer), and the card appears in Trello with the customer's name, a context description, and a due date. In the other direction: when you move a card in Trello, Zapier triggers a webhook that updates the CRM or the tasks in Pilot. Functional, not a native OAuth integration yet.
The native OAuth integration with Trello (like Monday or ClickUp in Pilot) is on the roadmap. When it arrives it will add real-time two-way sync with no Zapier in between, custom-field mapping, an AI agent writing updates inside cards from real conversations, and delay prediction per card.
What you can do
- Cards created in Trello automatically when Pilot detects events (new lead, deal won, pending task).
- Moving cards between lists via Zapier: Pilot triggers the rule and Zapier updates Trello.
- Assigning cards to the right team member according to business rules (round-robin, balanced workload, specialty).
- Reverse sync: cards moved or completed in Trello update the task or opportunity status in Pilot.
- Linking each card to the corresponding customer in the CRM; opening the card shows the customer's context (email via a Zapier comment).
- Cross notifications: comments on a Trello card can trigger a message in Pilot's chat, and vice versa.
- Custom flows via Zapier for companies with specific processes (e.g. each new opportunity over $5k creates a dedicated board for management).
- Native OAuth integration on the roadmap: real-time sync, custom-field mapping, AI agent writing updates inside cards.
What about Trello Power-Ups like Butler or Custom Fields?
Butler (Trello's native automation engine) makes rules inside Trello: 'when a card reaches this list, do X'. It's excellent for intra-board automation but doesn't operate outside it. Pilot operates cross-tool: it brings into Trello what happens in WhatsApp, email, and the CRM, and sends back to Pilot what happens in Trello. The two coexist; Butler for rules inside the board, Pilot for connecting it with the rest of the operation.
Compared with Asana, Monday, or ClickUp: Trello is the simplest option visually. Monday/ClickUp have a native OAuth integration with Pilot; if your case needs real-time sync with custom fields, consider migrating while the native Trello integration arrives. If you like Trello as it is, Zapier + Pilot solves 80% of the case today.

How to connect it
- Create a Zapier account (free works for low volume, paid for multiple flows).
- In Zapier, connect Pilot (via webhook) and Trello (with Zapier's OAuth).
- Define the first Zap: "When a new opportunity is created in Pilot with a value > X, create a card on Trello's 'Pipeline' board with title = customer name and due date = expected close date."
- Define the reverse Zap: "When a card in Trello is moved to the 'Closed' list, mark the corresponding opportunity in Pilot as won."
- Test both flows with sample data; the Zap runs in seconds.
- Replicate the pattern for the flows your team needs (projects, customer tasks, restocking, etc.).
