Two-way synchronization

This page provides information on Jira -> Trello and Trello -> Jira synchronization with Trello Sync for Jira app.

DEPRECATED APP: End of development and support

We have decided to pause our efforts in this area, so this app is no longer available on the Atlassian Marketplace. We will be providing support to each customer until their license expires.

This type of synchronization means everything is synced from Jira to Trello and vice-versa. If there are updates on the synced tasks, for example comments or attachments in Trello card, they will be synced back.

Warning

All issues in Jira and all cards on Trello board which had been created before configuring the integration can’t be synchronized.

Note

Changes made on Trello boards are instantly visible in Jira. In case of update a Jira issue, a corresponding change is visible in Trello after approximately one minute.

Remember that Trello synchronization is limited to one configuration per board.
