Move from Trello
From Trello to Artavolo, step by step
Export from Trello, bring the files in, and see what came over before anyone switches. It is read in your browser, and nothing in Trello changes.
-
Export from Trello
You get: JSON, one file per board (every plan).
- Open the board, then the menu at the top right.
- Choose Print, export and share, then Export as JSON. Save the file.
- Repeat for each board. On Premium, a workspace admin can export every board at once.
-
Bring the files in
- In Artavolo, open Import on the home page and choose Other apps (opens it for you).
- Pick or drop the files, all at once: each becomes a table, linked where one names the other’s records. Say they come from Trello, so the report names it.
- The tables and their fields are shown with their types, and what was found (links, lookups, groups). Untick a table to leave it out, and make the base.
-
Read the report
It lists the tables and records made, the formulas and lookups checked against Trello’s own results record by record, and what is different, so nothing is dropped without a word. Keep Trello until the team works here.
What comes over
Your data, typed and linked
- Every card, a table per board, in the board's order
- Lists as a single select (a kanban view gives you the board back), labels with their colours
- Descriptions as rich text, members, start and due dates, done
- Checklists, comments, custom fields, archived cards, each card's link and the time it was made
What you rebuild
Named in the report, every one
- Butler rules (as automations)
- Attachments: Trello's links need a Trello sign-in, so download the files you still need
- Comments older than the last 1,000 actions, which Trello's export leaves out
Rather we did it? We move a base or a whole workspace for a fixed price, rebuild what the export leaves out, and check it with you. Ask for a quote.
Questions
Moving from Trello
Make a kanban view by the List field: the lists come back in the board's order, with the cards in theirs. The same records also open as a grid, a calendar by due date, or a timeline.
Yes, as fields of each card: checklists with their ticks, comments with who wrote them and when. Trello's JSON holds a board's last 1,000 actions, so very old comments may not be in it.
Yes, all at once: export each board as JSON and bring the files in together. Each becomes a table of the same base.
