Trello + Gmail Checklist Sync

Convert email tasks into Trello cards and update email when cards complete.

When you tag an email with 'Trello', Nora creates a card. When the card completes, Nora emails you a summary. Email and Trello stay in sync.

You get an email with a task. Label it 'Trello'. Nora creates a card in a designated board, assigns it to you, and archives the email. When you move that card to 'Done' in Trello, Nora sends you an email: 'Card completed: [task name] — good job!' This bridges the inbox-to-task workflow. Some teams live in email, some in Trello—this automation lets you use both without duplication. Works one-way (email → Trello) or bidirectional (Trello cards that originated from email get tagged in Gmail).
