Trello - Get Card

↩ Part of the Trello integration.

Description

Reads a single Trello card by its id (GET /cards/{id}) and passes it to the next node. Use it to check the current state of a card before deciding what to do: is it still open, which list is it in, when is it due, who is assigned.

You can narrow the response with the fields parameter, which is useful when the card carries a lot of data you do not need.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Description
`credentials_id`	credentials	Yes	Trello credential
`card_id`	text	Yes	Card id
`fields`	text	No	Comma-separated fields to return (e.g. `name,desc,due,idList`)

card_id is resolved through dynamic variables ({{data.field}}). fields is sent literally.

Credentials

This node requires a Trello credential (service type trello):

Field	Description
`api_key`	Trello API key
`token`	Token generated when authorizing that key

Output

The card as Trello returns it. With fields set, only the requested keys (plus id) come back:

{
  "data": {
    "id": "66cd34ef56ab78cd90ef12ab",
    "name": "Order: ACME Inc.",
    "desc": "3 units of SKU CAM-001",
    "due": "2026-08-15T10:00:00.000Z",
    "idList": "66ab12cd34ef56ab78cd90ef",
    "closed": false,
    "shortUrl": "https://trello.com/c/AbCdEfGh"
  },
  "_meta": {
    "moduleVersion": "1.0.0",
    "success": true,
    "id": "66cd34ef56ab78cd90ef12ab",
    "totalMs": 188
  }
}

Usage Example

Full card

{
  "credentials_id": "trello_ops",
  "card_id": "{{data.card_id}}"
}

Only the fields you need

{
  "credentials_id": "trello_ops",
  "card_id": "{{data.card_id}}",
  "fields": "name,due,idList,closed"
}

A typical pattern is Get card → Decision on {{data.idList}}, to branch depending on which column the card sits in.

Notes

A card that does not exist (or that your token cannot see) returns a not_found error with status 404; the workflow stops on that branch.
closed: true means the card is archived, not deleted.
Trello returns dates in UTC with milliseconds (2026-08-15T10:00:00.000Z).

Trello - List Cards — read every card in a list instead of one.
Trello - Update Card — change what you just read.
Trello - Add Comment — leave a note on the card.
