You can view time tracked using the Trello Power-Up in Trello on a Trello board or Trello card, and you can also view the time tracked when using the Power-Up directly in your Harvest account.

Viewing time tracked on a Trello board

You can see the total time tracked to a board in Trello by hovering over the H icon near the top of the board.

Viewing time tracked on a Trello card

You'll see the total time tracked to a card in Trello when starting a new timer from the card.

Viewing time tracked via Trello in your Harvest account

In the Day view of your timesheet, the notes section of each time entry you create from Trello will include a link back to the Trello card. 

Attaching a time report to a card

The Harvest Power-Up button has the option to Attach time report to a card. This will add a report that shows who tracked time to the card, and for how long. Administrators and Managers can see the team’s time, whereas Members will only see their own time.

Trello integration FAQ

Do Harvest projects/tasks and Trello boards/cards sync?

No, you’ll have to manually set up projects and tasks in Harvest and boards and cards in Trello. You can check out the third-party app Zapier if you’d like to automate this.

Will I always have to select the Harvest project and task when creating a timer using the Trello Power-Up?

The first time you track to a card in Trello, you'll have to select the associated Harvest project and task. Harvest will remember the project and task selection when you create future entries for the same card.

Why can't I use the Power-Up on a certain card?

Power-Ups are not available for cards in your Trello inbox. Once you've moved a card to a board, you'll be able to use Power-Ups on it.
