Import from Trello

Migrate your boards seamlessly

Migrating from Trello

Moving from Trello to TaskBoard365 is simple. Export your Trello board as a JSON file, then import it into TaskBoard365. Your cards, lists, comments, checklists, and attachments will transfer over, ready for you to start working.

1

Export from Trello

First, export your Trello board data as a JSON file:

  1. Open your Trello board - Navigate to the board you want to export.
  2. Click the menu button - Find the "..." or "Show menu" button in the top right.
  3. Select "More" - Look for additional options.
  4. Click "Print and Export" - This opens export options.
  5. Choose "Export as JSON" - Trello will generate a JSON file with all your board data.
  6. Download the file - Save it to your computer.

Tip: JSON export includes everything: cards, lists, comments, checklists, attachments, labels, and member assignments. This gives you the most complete import.

Review Your Export (Optional)

You can optionally review the JSON file before importing:

  • Check the board name - This will be the name of your new board
  • Note the size - Large boards with thousands of cards may take a moment to import
  • Archived items - Archived cards and lists are automatically excluded from the import

Import to TaskBoard365

  2. Click "Import from Trello" - Find this button on the boards page.
  3. Upload your JSON file - Click to select or drag and drop your exported file.
  4. Preview the import - See a summary of lists, cards, labels, checklists, comments, and attachments.
