What are Power-Ups?

Power-Ups are add-ons that provide more functionality or styling to boards and cards. They enhance productivity, collaboration, and organization by adding new features or fields, or aggregating information from other sources. There are over 300 Power-Ups available, so no matter what you’d like to do in Trello, you can probably find a Power-Up to help.

Many people use Power-Ups to integrate Trello with other apps they use, such as Slack or GitHub. Power-Ups offer a seamless way to sync information without needing to jump between multiple places. You’ll see more examples of this in the Power-Ups for Integrations section.

Aside from integrating with other tools, people use Power-Ups when they’re looking for specific features they want in their boards that they can’t natively do. For example, if you’re doing reporting or time tracking, you’ll find Power-Ups that can help Trello work even better for your use case.
