Export Trello Card Custom Field Values to a Google Sheet

The Scenario

The VP of Sales asked for the pipeline in a spreadsheet by Thursday. Not the Trello board link — a spreadsheet, with Deal Value, Stage, and Close Date as columns, one row per card.

You open the board. One hundred and fifty cards. Three custom fields on each one. None of it visible without clicking into every card individually.

The bad version:

  • Click the first card, read the custom field values, alt-tab to the spreadsheet, type them in, click back to Trello.
  • Click the next card, read the values, repeat.
  • Lose your place around card forty when someone sends you a Slack message.

At a hundred and fifty cards, this is the better part of a day. And the VP will want the same export next Thursday, and the one after that.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It connects to Trello, reads the custom field definitions from the board, fetches every card's values, and writes the whole dataset into your sheet — structured, labeled, ready for analysis.

Open a blank sheet or one with headers already in row 1. Then:

Get all custom field definitions from the Trello board "Sales Pipeline." Then fetch every card and write the card name, list name, and the value of each custom field as separate columns into this sheet.

Or, if you want specific fields rather than all of them:

For each card on the Trello board "CRM Pipeline," read the custom fields "Deal Value," "Stage," and "Close Date" and write them into columns B, C, and D of this sheet alongside the card name in column A.

What You Get

  • One row per card, with card name in column A and each custom field value in its own column.
  • Column headers populated from the custom field names defined on the board.
  • Cards with no value for a given custom field written as blank in that column rather than dropped.
  • The sheet ready for pivot tables, SUMIF formulas, or export to the VP without any post-processing.

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

Some custom fields have dropdown options rather than free text — you need the display label, not the option ID

For each card on the Trello board "Sales Pipeline," read the custom fields "Stage" and "Priority." For dropdown-type fields, write the option label rather than the option ID into the sheet.

SheetXAI resolves the option label from the board's field definition without you having to build a lookup table.

You only want cards in specific lists

Get all cards from the Trello board "CRM Pipeline" that are in the lists "Discovery," "Proposal," or "Negotiation." For each card, write the card name, list name, and the values of the custom fields "Deal Value," "Stage," and "Close Date" into this sheet.

Scoping to specific lists before reading custom fields keeps the export focused and fast.

The board has fifteen custom fields but the report only needs three

Fetch all cards from the Trello board "Sales Pipeline." For each card, write the card name, list name, and only the custom field values for "Deal Value," "Close Date," and "Territory" into this sheet. Ignore all other custom fields.

Naming the fields you want avoids a wide export that needs to be trimmed afterward.

Full pipeline snapshot — custom fields, filter, sort, summary — in one shot

Get all cards from the Trello board "Sales Pipeline" that are not in the "Closed Lost" list. For each card, write the card name, list, Deal Value (custom field), Close Date (custom field), and Assigned Member into this sheet. Sort by Close Date ascending. Then add a row at the bottom with the total Deal Value summed.

One prompt pulls the filtered data, orders it, and appends the summary row — the VP gets the sheet she asked for, not a dataset that still needs work.

When you can describe both what to pull and how to shape it in the same prompt, you skip the intermediate step entirely.
