How to Send WP Job Manager Data to Trello

Trello is a project management tool for organizing work and collaborating. WP Job Manager manages a job listing is submitted, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Trello.

Why connect directly?

Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-job fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with WP Job Manager installed and configured.
• A Trello account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Trello to AFI

1. Go to trello.com/1/appKey to get your API Key.
2. Authorize and get your API Token.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Trello.
4. Enter the API Key and Token, then click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it WP Job Manager to Trello.

2. Pick your trigger

Select WP Job Manager as the form provider. AFI fires when a job listing is submitted, giving you access to company name, job title, email, location, job type, and application URL.

3. Select Trello as the destination

Choose Trello from the platform dropdown and pick Create Card. This creates a card on a Trello board.

4. Map fields

Match each Trello field on the left to the corresponding WP Job Manager field on the right. Common mappings include company name, job title, email, location, job type, and application URL. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in WP Job Manager. Check Trello to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps card name, description, and list to Trello with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping and label assignment. No per-record fees on any plan.
