Trello to Discord Webhook: Post New & Moved Cards (n8n)

Trello card updates automatically posted to Discord (with moved-card support)

This n8n workflow listens to your Trello board activity via webhook, then posts a clear update to a Discord channel whenever a card is newly created or moved to another list. If the main Discord post fails, it sends a fallback alert to Discord.

What this workflow does

• Triggers on Trello webhook activity for the configured board, reacting to Trello action payloads in real time.
• Extracts key card details from each Trello event (including card name and URL, plus member and list context).
• Filters events to keep only:
  • Card creations
  • Card moves (updates that include a destination list)
• Formats the message appropriately for a newly created card versus a moved card.
• Posts to Discord using an incoming webhook.
• Fallback Discord alert: if the primary Discord post fails, the workflow captures the card and error details and posts a warning message to Discord.

Use cases

• Notify your team in Discord whenever new Trello tasks appear so nothing slips through.
• Track workflow movement (e.g., “In Progress” → “Review”) by posting updates when cards are moved between lists.
• Operational visibility for SaaS teams managing projects in Trello, with instant chat-based updates via n8n.

Technical details

• Trello trigger (webhook-based) to receive board events.
• Nodes used: if, set, filter, discord, and a sticky note (for workflow guidance/notes).
• Discord integration: sends messages via Discord incoming webhook; includes an optional separate webhook path for failure alerts.
• Setup requirements: Trello API credentials (API key/token), the TRELLO_BOARD_ID (or configured board ID), and Discord webhook credentials for posting and fallback alerts.
