Trello – I would like to have a searchable journal (calendar) of the completed tasks in trello

trello

I would like to use a simple kanban board to track what should I do. But obviously, the "Done" list will be larger and larger (I can archive, instead to move to Done list). Another problem, that I would like to see the completed tasks in a calendar, so I can see, that what did I do last Friday. Is that possible?

Best Answer

A Google Account with an IFTTT recipe can help you achieve this.

Prerequisites

  1. Google Account

    • If you don't use Gmail, you can sign up for a Google Account using your existing (non-Gmail) email address.
    • Once you have a Google Account, you will have access to Google Calendar among other apps.

  2. IFTTT Account

    • Sign up for IFTTT if you don't have an account already.
    • Navigate to the Channels section and link your Trello and Google Calendar to IFTTT.

Setup

  1. IFTTT Recipe

    • Create a recipe to track cards added to your Done list in Trello on Google Calendar.

    • Every time you move a card to Done, IFTTT will create the card as an event on your Google Calendar.

Caveats

  • The IFTTT recipe uses Gooogle Calendar's 'Quick Add' feature. So, all the information shows up in the title of the calendar event. You'll want to factor that in if you go with this approach.

Bonus

If this setup works for you, consider setting up another IFTTT recipe that adds a new row to a Google Sheet you specify.
