Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Trello integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Trello calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Trello data, across all 322 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Trello access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Trello, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Trello is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Trello.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Trello action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses OAuth1 to connect to your Trello account. This means you are redirected to Trello to authorize the connection, and Trello provides us with a secure token. We never see or store your Trello password. This token allows the agent to act on your behalf based on the permissions granted during the setup process. You can revoke this access at any time through your Trello account settings under the authorized apps section, which will immediately stop all automated workflows from running until you reauthorize the connection.
Yes. The agent can use the add board action to create a new board and can be instructed to mirror the structure of a source board. By pulling the lists and labels from a template board first, the agent can recreate that exact environment for every new project. This ensures consistency across your organization so that every project has the same stages, from Backlog to Done, without you having to manually build the columns and labels every single time a new client signs on.
While Ceven can process large volumes, it is subject to Trello API rate limits. Trello limits the number of requests per token per ten second window. If a workflow attempts to move hundreds of cards in a single burst, Trello may return a 429 error. Ceven handles this by implementing an automatic retry logic with exponential backoff. This means the agent will pause for a few seconds and then resume the operation, ensuring that all cards eventually reach their destination without failing the entire workflow.
Yes. The agent can take a public or shared URL from Google Drive and use the add attachment to card action to link it directly. This allows your team to see the most recent version of a document without leaving the Trello interface. If the workflow is configured to monitor a specific folder, the agent can automatically attach new files to the corresponding card based on the filename or a matching ID, keeping your project documentation and task tracking in perfect sync.
No. The agent can only perform actions that the authenticated user has permission to do. For example, it cannot invite a user to a private board if the account connecting Ceven does not have administrative rights to that board. It also cannot change the global permission settings of a workspace. The agent operates as a digital extension of your own user account, meaning it respects all the existing visibility and access controls you have already established within Trello.
The agent can both create new labels on a board and apply existing labels to cards. If you tell the agent to label a card as High Priority, it first checks if that label exists on the board. If it does not, the agent can create the label with your preferred color before applying it. This allows for dynamic categorization where the agent can introduce new tags based on data coming from your CRM or other external tools without requiring manual board setup.
Yes. By using token webhooks, Ceven can listen for specific events on your boards. When a card is moved or a comment is added, Trello sends a notification to Ceven, which then triggers the associated workflow. This allows for instant reactions, such as sending a Slack message to a developer the moment a card moves into the To Do list. This event driven approach is much more efficient than polling the API every few minutes to check for updates.
Yes. The agent can archive individual cards or use the archive all cards in list action for bulk cleanup. Archiving is the preferred way to remove cards in Trello because it preserves the data for future audits while removing the clutter from the active board view. You can set up a weekly cleanup workflow where the agent archives all cards in a Completed list that are older than thirty days, keeping your boards lean and performant.
