Step-by-step guide
How to connect Telegram to Trello
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Telegram account with permission to install apps
- An active Trello account
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Telegram
Click "Add Connection" and select Telegram from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Telegram's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
- Step 03
Authenticate Trello
Same process for Trello. Click "Add Connection," select Trello, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new message received in telegram or new item created in trello. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create item in trello. Map the data fields between Telegram and Trello so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Telegram and Trello. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Telegram to Trello?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Telegram and Trello via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing communication events to productivity actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Telegram and Trello?
Popular automations include: create Trello tasks from Telegram messages, post Trello deadline reminders to Telegram channels, update Trello item statuses when Telegram reactions are added, and archive completed Trello tasks in Telegram threads. You can also trigger custom workflows from specific Telegram keywords.
Is the Telegram and Trello integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your Telegram-to-Trello workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Telegram data secure when connected to Trello?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Telegram or Trello passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your communication data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Telegram and Trello?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Telegram or Trello. For example, create a workflow where Telegram events update Trello, and a separate one where Trello changes sync back to Telegram. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Telegram and Trello?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Telegram and Trello, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
