Maximize Trello's Free Tier: Create Link Cards with Preview
Trello is a popular project management tool that offers a free tier for users. One of the features that make Trello stand out is its ability to create link cards, which can help streamline workflows and keep teams organized. In this article, we'll cover how to create link cards with previews in Trello's free tier.
Understanding Trello's Free Tier
Trello's free tier offers a lot of functionality for teams and individuals. Some of the key features include:
- Unlimited boards
- Unlimited lists per board
- Unlimited members per team
- 250 commands per automation per month
- Integrations with over 100 apps
Link cards are an essential part of maximizing Trello's free tier. They allow users to create a relationship between two cards, making it easy to link related information and keep projects organized.
Creating Link Cards with Preview
To create a link card with preview, follow these steps:
- Open the source board and create a new card.
- Copy the URL of the card you want to link to.
- Go back to the source board and add a new attachment to the card.
- Paste the URL of the target card into the attachment field.
- Click "Add Attachment."
- The target card will now appear as an attachment in the source card.
- Drag and drop the attached card to the desired position on the board.
When you drag and drop the attached card to the board, Trello will create a new card with a preview of the original card. This preview includes the name, description, and cover image of the original card.
Create Regular Cards
If you don't need a preview of the linked card, you can create a regular link instead. To create a regular link:
- Open the source board and create a new card.
- Add the URL of the target card as a comment or description.
- Mention the target board and card name in the comment or description using the format "@BoardName/CardName."
When you mention the target board and card name, Trello will create a link to the card. Clicking on the link will take you to the target card.
Link cards with previews are an essential feature of Trello's free tier. They help keep projects organized and make it easy to link related information. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can create link cards with previews in Trello's free tier and maximize its functionality.
