How to integrate DeskTime with Trello?

The DeskTime app's integration with Trello will help you to plan, track and complete projects with maximum efficiency. With Trello's experience in project planning and DeskTime's time tracking options, your company can forget about any mess or misunderstanding among your DeskTime account members.

How does it work?

Once DeskTime establishes a connection with Trello, issues and projects are delivered to DeskTime's project section.

Start tracking your project/task with the DeskTime project timer.

No tasks created in DeskTime will be synchronized back to Trello. The time user spent on certain tasks/projects will be sent back to Trello (including manually added time for projects/tasks).
