Cross-Platform Visibility

Link a Trello board alongside GitHub repositories for complete visibility:
  • Engineering work tracked in GitHub
  • Design tasks managed in Trello
  • Both visible and linked in Kasava Products

Troubleshooting

If the OAuth flow fails, you may have denied access or there was a network issue. Try the connection again from Settings > Integrations. Make sure you click “Allow” on the Trello authorization page.
This error means the authorization was not completed. Try disconnecting (if partially connected) and reconnecting from scratch.
Your Trello token may have expired or been revoked. Disconnect and reconnect the integration to get a fresh token.
Verify that the Trello account you connected has access to the boards you’re trying to view. You may need to reconnect with a different Trello account.
