Using the Trello API Endpoint to Set a Custom Field on a Card

The Trello API provides numerous endpoints for integration and automation of Trello boards, lists, and cards. One of the endpoints allows you to set a Custom Field value on a card. The Custom Field feature is a powerful Trello extension that enables additional data fields to be added to Trello cards, thereby enhancing their functionality and making them more informative and versatile.

With the Set a Custom Field on a Card endpoint, you can programmatically update the value of a Custom Field. This can be instrumental in a wide range of applications:

  1. Data Automation: With this API, you can automate the process of updating information on a Trello card. For instance, you could have an inventory management system that updates stock levels in real-time onto a corresponding Trello card.
  2. Integration: The API endpoint allows for seamless integration between Trello and third-party services. If you are using a CRM, for example, you could update sales figures within Trello as new sales are made.
  3. Enhanced Collaboration: Using Custom Fields to share critical metrics, due dates, or statuses, teams can foster better communication and keep everyone on the same page.
  4. Workflow Optimization: Custom Fields can be used to trigger specific actions within an external system, like generating invoices when a Trello card is moved to a "Completed" list and the custom field is set to "Ready for Invoicing."

These are some of the problems that can be efficiently resolved using this API endpoint:

  1. Manual Data Entry: By programmatically setting Custom Fields, you eliminate the need for manual entry, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.
  2. Data Consistency: When information changes in your primary application, it can be instantly reflected in your Trello cards, ensuring that all team members have access to the most up-to-date information.
  3. Process Automation: Custom Fields can be used to control automated workflows. For example, when a "status" field is set to "Approved," it can trigger a sequence of automated tasks such as notifications or moving the card to another list.

To use the endpoint, you'll need the following:

  1. The Custom Field's ID you want to set a value for.
  2. The Card's ID that you want to update.
  3. Authentication credentials (typically an API key and token).

Here's how you might make a call to this endpoint:


  PUT /1/cards/{cardId}/customField/{customFieldId}/item
  {
    "value": {
      "text": "New Value" // The type of value will vary depending on Custom Field type
    },
    "key": "API_KEY",
    "token": "API_TOKEN"
  }

In conclusion, the ability to set Custom Field values on Trello cards via the API unlocks a host of possibilities for integrating and automating workflows. By leveraging this functionality, users can solve problems related to data entry, consistency, and process management, leading to enhanced productivity and fluid communication within and between teams.
