Why Connect Keap to Trello?

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Keap and Trello aligned

Keap uses a REST API while Trello uses REST + Webhook, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Student enrolment data in Keap and billing records in Trello are managed separately, causing discrepancies

Reporting across Keap and Trello requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Task updates in Keap are invisible to the team using Trello, leading to duplicated effort and missed deadlines

Client engagement details in Keap and time-tracking data in Trello do not align, making billing inaccurate

Trello adds complexity: reporting is minimal - Trello shows board activity but lacks the analytics dashboards that managers need for team performance insights

How We Help

Connecting Keap (crm & sales) with Trello (project management) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Professional Services and Education businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of contacts and tasks data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Keap uses a REST API with OAuth authentication, and Trello authenticates via API key, which our team handles as part of the build.

Unified Contacts Across Both Platforms

Contacts in Keap and members in Trello stay perfectly aligned. Every update, whether it is a new phone number, email change, or company association, is reflected in both systems within seconds.

Amplify Keap Strengths

Keap excels because built-in e-commerce features including checkout pages, order forms, and subscription management let small businesses sell directly from the CRM. Connecting it to Trello ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying contacts between Keap and Trello by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

Custom-Built for Your Workflow

Unlike generic connectors, we build integrations tailored to how your business actually uses Keap and Trello. Custom field mappings, business rules, and error handling included.
