Assistant for Trello:
Inspiration
The main inspiration for Assistant for Trello was a situation, where our team had a Trello board with future app improvement ideas. All cards from this board was covered with Jira issues on our instance. Then we updated our issues: some of them has been completed, others has been transitioned into development mode. We checked our board again. What a mess… completely not agreeable with present conditions and it requires manual modification. And here we comes with perfect solution :D.
What it does
It allows you to automatically create and transition Trello cards within Jira. To make it all work first you need to configure Trello API and then fill in other required details for chosen Jira Project. You can also create card manually from specific Jira issue.
Besides this base app operations you can check if your issue is attached with card and look up its details by clicking on link button from Assistant for Trello issue glance view.
Additionally Trello Assistant offers global configuration to disable app from use on some unwanted projects.
