Tips and resources for customizing Trello into your perfect onboarding workflow.







Send emails in Trello
Connect a shared inbox (like onboarding@) to send and receive emails right from your Trello board.
Use lists to keep track of the stages in your workflow. Here’s a basic client onboarding example:
Pre-Boarding: Prepare signed clients for onboarding
Welcome: Welcome new clients and share information with them
Introduction: Arrange a kick-off meeting to introduce the team
Ongoing Support: Set up regular check-ins to keep clients happy
Documentation: Keep a list of commonly used docs and templates

Saved Replies
Use Saved Reply templates to manage your onboarding journey, save team time, and reduce errors.
Perfect for service businesses like agencies and consultants to manage client communication.

Reply with Trello automations
Use Trello rules to automatically send out templated emails based on triggers. Less time spent typing means more time for meaningful work!

Variables
Keep your emails personal by using variables to insert contact names, Trello content and Custom Fields into your emails. Each variable will be automatically populated with the relevant value when you hit send.

Custom from/send address
Boost trust and recognition by sending emails from your own custom domain. Simply link up your own email address to your Trello board to get started.

Trello Custom Fields
Use Custom Fields to organize the details that are important to you. Insert Custom Fields into your emails, or extract details into Custom Fields to use elsewhere in Trello.

Manage your contacts
It’s easy to create new contacts, add email addresses, and edit existing details – right within Trello.
