Email Power-Up with Templates and Custom fields

Trello
1

Hey guys,

I would like to have an evaluation whether our idea of an Mail-Power-Up is feasible in Trello.

The Power-Up:

  • There are custom fields on each card (just like in this power-up: Trello)
  • I can create email-templates that contain these custom fields
  • By clicking a button on the card, a dropdown-menu opens which lists all of my created email-templates (with the custom fields already filled in)
  • I then either want a build-in email-client (similar to Trello) which is connected to my custom email (IMAP) or by selecting a certain email template, outlook opens and loads the template

Would that be possible by writing a custom Trello Power-Up and if yes, what is the rough scale of the coding process? 1 to 10 days, or 10+ days?

Thanks in advance for any insight you guys can give me :slightly_smiling_face:

Best regards,

Eric Eichholzer

Hi Eric,

I’m a cofounder at SendBoard and was notified of your posting here.

If I understand you correctly, you can meet these requirements by using the Custom Fields Power-Up and the SendBoard Power-Up in combination.

  • SendBoard supports sending/receiving emails from directly within Trello.
  • Custom Fields can store values to be inserted into your emails.
  • SendBoard supports email templates (Saved Replies) with variable replacement. You can insert the value of a custom field into an email or a saved Reply.

You might have a specific reason why you need a custom Power-Up, but I thought I would weigh in here with my thoughts.

Happy emailing!
