# Trello as a data source
> Bring data from Trello to Nekt.
Trello is a web-based list-making and task management application. Boards contain lists, and lists contain cards that represent tasks. The connector extracts members, boards, lists, cards, and board activity (actions).
## Configuring Trello as a Source
In the [Sources](https://app.nekt.ai/sources) tab, click **Add source** in the top right, then select **Trello**. Click **Next** to open the account access step.
The connector requires your **API Key** and **Token**. The Secret field from your Trello app is not used.
### 1. Add account access
Go to [https://trello.com/app-key](https://trello.com/app-key) and log in if prompted.
If you have not created an app before, create one. Trello will then show a page with your **API Key** and **Secret**.
On that page, find **API Key**. This is the value you enter in the connector’s API Key field. Do not use the **Secret**; it is not used for this integration.
On the same page, click the **token** link (under “Token”), or open this URL in your browser and replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your actual API Key:
`https://trello.com/1/authorize?expiration=never&scope=read,write&response_type=token&key=YOUR_API_KEY`
Authorize the app when prompted. Trello will display a token string; copy it and paste it into the connector’s Token field.
Enter the API Key and Token in the connector form, then click **Next**.
### 2. Select streams
Choose which data streams you want to sync. You can select all streams or only those relevant to your analysis. The hierarchy is: **members** → **boards** → **lists** and **actions**; **lists** → **cards**.
> Tip: The stream can be found more easily by typing its name.
Select the streams and click **Next**.
### 3. Configure data streams
Customize how you want your data to appear in your catalog. Select the desired layer where the data will be placed, a folder to organize it inside the layer, a name for each table (which will effectively contain the fetched data), and the type of sync.
* **Layer**: Choose between the existing layers on your catalog. This is where you will find your new extracted tables as the extraction runs successfully.
* **Folder**: A folder can be created inside the selected layer to group all tables being created from this new data source.
* **Table name**: We suggest a name, but feel free to customize it. You have the option to add a **prefix** to all tables at once and make this process faster.
* **Sync Type**: You can choose between INCREMENTAL and FULL\_TABLE.
* **Incremental**: Every time the extraction happens, we'll get only the new data—which is good if, for example, you want to keep every record ever fetched (used by default for the **actions** stream).
* **Full table**: Every time the extraction happens, we'll get the current state of the data—which is good if, for example, you don't want to have deleted data in your catalog.
Once you are done configuring, click **Next**.
### 4. Configure data source
Describe your data source for easy identification within your organization, not exceeding 140 characters.
To define your [Trigger](https://docs.nekt.com/runs/scheduling-and-triggers), consider how often you want data to be extracted from this source. This decision usually depends on how frequently you need the new table data updated (every day, once a week, or only at specific times).
Optionally, you can define some additional settings:
* Configure Delta Log Retention and determine for how long we should store old states of this table as it gets updated. Read more about this resource [here](https://docs.nekt.com/get-started/core-concepts/resource-control).
* Determine when to execute an **Additional [Full Sync](https://docs.nekt.com/get-started/core-concepts/types-of-sync#additional-full-sync)**. This will complement the incremental data extractions, ensuring that your data is completely synchronized with your source every once in a while.
Once you are ready, click **Next** to finalize the setup.
### 5. Check your new source
You can view your new source on the [Sources](https://app.nekt.ai/sources) page. If needed, manually trigger the source extraction by clicking on the arrow button. Once executed, your data will appear in your Catalog.
For you to be able to see it on your [Catalog](https://app.nekt.ai/catalog), you need at least one successful source run.
# Streams and Fields

# Data Model
The following diagram illustrates the relationships between the Trello streams. The arrows indicate parent-child and join keys.
```mermaid theme={null}
graph TD;
subgraph "Root"
Members("Members");
end
subgraph "Board level"
Boards("Boards");
Actions("Actions");
end
subgraph "List level"
Lists("Lists");
Cards("Cards");
end
Boards -- "member_id" --> Members;
Lists -- "board_id" --> Boards;
Actions -- "board_id" --> Boards;
Cards -- "list_id" --> Lists;
```
* **Members** is the root (one record: the authenticated user). **Boards** are fetched per member (`/members/{member_id}/boards`).
* **Lists** and **Actions** are fetched per board (`/boards/{board_id}/lists`, `/boards/{board_id}/actions`).
* **Cards** are fetched per list (`/lists/{list_id}/cards`).
Use `idBoard` and `idList` on cards to join with boards and lists; use `board_id` and `list_id` from the sync context or from the card fields for relationships.
