Kanban Importer help

How to turn a spreadsheet into a Trello kanban board: supported files, column matching, agile setup, migrating from Jira or GitHub, and fixes for the usual problems.

• Getting started with Kanban Importer

  Add the Power-Up, connect Trello, and turn a spreadsheet into a kanban board in about two minutes. One card per row, with lists, labels and dates.

• Supported file formats

  Kanban Importer reads five formats: CSV, TSV, Excel xlsx, OpenDocument ods and JSON, including Jira, GitHub and Trello board exports. No conversion step.

• Matching columns to Trello card fields

  How columns become card titles, lists, labels, members, dates and checklists, the ten fields available, and how to correct a wrong guess before importing.

• Setting up a kanban board for agile work

  Create Backlog, Ready, In Progress, In Review and Done automatically, then map user stories, acceptance criteria, story points and epics onto Trello cards.

• Migrating from Jira, GitHub or another Trello board

  Move issues out of Jira, GitHub or an existing Trello board into a Trello kanban board, with labels, assignees and checklists carried across in one import.

• Troubleshooting

  Fixes for the nine usual problems: no Import button, authorization failing, members not attaching, dates a day out, and rows that fail part way through a run.
