Create Trello Cards from Discord Webhooks with n8n

Turn Discord commands into Trello cards with n8n

This n8n workflow listens for a Discord webhook command, parses your !card message into a Trello card title and optional description, creates the card in your selected Trello list, and then posts a confirmation (or error/usage hint) back to Discord.

What this workflow does

• Receives a webhook from Discord: An HTTP POST request (from your Discord bot or Interactions endpoint) is sent to the workflow with the message content and author.
• Parses !card <title> | <optional description>: The workflow extracts structured fields—title, description (if provided), and author.
• Validates input: If no card title is present, it routes to a usage reply so you don’t end up with blank Trello cards.
• Creates a Trello card: Using the configured Trello list ID (via TRELLO_LIST_ID), it creates a card using the parsed title and description, and appends who filed it from Discord.
• Confirms back in Discord: After success, it posts a message to Discord that includes the newly created Trello card URL.
• Handles failures: If card creation fails, it captures the error reason and alerts back to Discord.

Use cases

• Fast task capture: “Team, file this as a Trello card” directly from a Discord channel.
• Support triage: Convert incident notes into Trello cards with an optional description.
• Internal requests: Collect feature ideas or bug reports in Discord and route them to a specific Trello list.

Technical details

• Nodes/stack: webhook, if, set, code, trello, discord, webhook.
• Trello credentials: Use a Trello API key + token, ensuring the token has access to the target board.
• Discord feedback: Configure a Discord Webhook credential to receive confirmations and failure alerts.
• List targeting: Set the destination Trello list ID using TRELLO_LIST_ID.
