This Trello + Twilio integration will allow you to manage your SMS communications via a Trello board.

Learn more from my post on DEV.

Make sure you have installed Twilio's CLI and have logged in:

npm install -g twilio-cli
twilio login

You'll need to provision a new Twilio number in the Manage Numbers page under your account.

Configure your Twilio phone number to call the webhook URL whenever a new message comes in:

twilio phone-numbers:update "+15017122661" --sms-url="http:https://localhost:3000/sms"

This will give you an ngrok URL - keep note of it as we will need it in the next section.

Open .env.example at the root of the project and save the file as .env. You'll need to fill out all six values.

You can get your TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID and TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN values from your Twilio console.

The TWILIO_NUMBER variable should be the same as the one you setup above for your Twilio webhook. The phone number should be in E.164 format.

For TRELLO_KEY, log into your Trello account and go to Trello's Developer API Keys page.

For TRELLO_AUTH_TOKEN you can generate a token using the "manually generate a Token" link on the page linked above. Make sure not to share this token with anyone else!

For TRELLO_BOARD, please input the ID of Trello board that you want this integration to run on. To get this ID, visit your Trello board and add .json to the end of the URL e.g. https://trello.com/b/12345/board-name.json. Make sure your board has at least one list.

For SERVER_URL, enter the ngrok URL you received previously when you ran the twilio command.

Run source .env to export the environment variables.

For first-time use, make sure you have run npm install.

Then, to launch the application, run node -r esm . . This should start up your app at http:https://localhost:3000.

Now when your Twilio number is messaged, this will generate a new card on your Trello board and leave a comment in the first list on the board.
