Last updated 1 year ago

Dokin is a powerful Google Workspace add-on that allows you to connect various data sources and integrate them seamlessly into your spreadsheets, documents or presentation. With Dokin, you can sync Trello data to:

  • Manage and analyze your Trello boards and cards in a Google Sheets spreadsheet,

  • Create dynamic presentations in Google Slides with data from Trello cards,

  • Create dynamic documents in Google Docs with data from Trello cards.

Next, a dropdown menu will appear. Here, simply pick the "Trello" app from the list of options.

Importing data from Scratch or from a Template

When it comes to importing data, you have two options: starting from scratch or using a template you've created before. Templates can significantly speed up the data import process. To discover how to create and reuse templates, please consult our step-by-step article.

Step 2: Connect to your Trello Account

If this is your first time using Dokin or if your previous connection has expired or been revoked, follow these steps to connect your Trello account:

  1. Click on the icon on the right of the Text Field. You will be redirected to a secure Trello connection page.

  2. On the Trello connection page, you will be asked to grant Dokin access to your Trello account. To proceed, click on the "Allow" button.

  3. After granting access, you will be redirected to another page where your unique token is displayed. Copy this token.

  4. Return to the Dokin app and paste the copied token into the "API Key" field.

  5. Finally, click on the "Connect" button to establish the connection between Dokin and your Trello account.

This secure process ensures that Dokin can seamlessly integrate with your Trello data while maintaining the necessary privacy and security standards.

Step 3: Select the Data to Import from Trello

Follow these steps to choose the data you want to import from Trello. This process allows you to import all the Cards that meet your specified criteria from Trello.

1. Select a Table

Begin by selecting the Trello board from which you intend to import data. This choice determines the source of the information you wish to bring into Dokin.

2. Select the Fields

Next, pick the fields you wish to display in your import. You have the flexibility to select anywhere from one to an unlimited number of fields, tailoring the import to your precise needs.

Once you've made your selections, you can rearrange the fields to your liking. This can be achieved with a simple drag-and-drop action, ensuring that the data is presented in the most logical and useful order for your specific needs.

3. Optional: Filtering and Sorting

For additional customization, you can apply filters and sorting to your imported data. This step is optional.

Filtering

  • Select the field you want to filter by

  • Choose an operator (such as Equal, Contains, Less Than, etc.). The operator depends on the type of field.

  • If needed, enter the value.

Sorting

If you want your data to be presented in a specific order, select the sorting field and indicate whether it should be in ascending or descending order.

4. Optional: Customize your Import

4.1 - Assign a Name to your Import

Choose a meaningful name for your import process. This name will help you easily identify and manage your imported data within Dokin.

4.2 - Set Up Scheduled Refresh

This option will automatically refresh your data at specific intervals. You can choose the frequency, including the day and time, and configure notifications to receive alerts when data is refreshed.

Google Sheets

An automatic refresh means that at your specified intervals, the information imported into your Google Sheets will be automatically updated. This ensures that your data remains accurate and reflects the latest changes.

Google Slides and Google Docs

An automatic refresh means that at your specified intervals, the information inserted into your Google Slides or Google Docs will be refreshed. This dynamic updating ensures that your presentations and documents always reflect the most current data, saving you the hassle of manual updates.

Frequency

Specify how often you want Dokin to automatically refresh your imported data. This ensures that your data remains current without requiring manual updates.

The frequencies are available:

  • No Refresh (default)

  • Weekly: Data refreshes every week. Select a specific day of the week and time for data refresh.

  • Daily: Data refreshes every day. Choose the time for daily data updates.

  • Hourly: Data refreshes every hour.

  • 15 mins: Data refreshes every 15 minutes.

Notifications

You can opt to receive notifications each time your data is refreshed. The available notification options include:

  • None: No notifications will be sent.

  • Slack: You will receive a Slack message whenever your data is refreshed. If it's your first time selecting this option, you'll be prompted to connect to your Slack workspace.

  • Email: You will receive an email notification each time your data is refreshed.

4.3 - Additional Customization [GOOGLE SHEETS ONLY]

Remove Dokin Header

By checking this box, you can hide the header banner displaying the app name and connection information on your sheet. Instead, the fields will be inserted directly on the first line of your sheet, providing a cleaner and more customized presentation of your data.

Below is an overview of the data with header.
