Common FAQs on Trello

How do I create and manage boards in Trello?

To create a board, log in to Trello and click on the “+ Create new board” button on your Trello homepage. Enter a name for your board, choose a background color or image, and set the board's visibility (e.g., private, workspace-visible). To manage a board, click on its name to open it. You can add lists to organize tasks into different stages (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done) and create cards within each list to represent individual tasks or items. Use drag-and-drop functionality to move cards between lists and manage tasks effectively.

How do I use Trello’s labels, due dates, and checklists?

To add labels, due dates, and checklists to a card, open the card you want to modify. Click on “Labels” to choose or create labels for categorizing tasks (e.g., high priority, design, marketing). Click on “Due Date” to set a deadline for the card, which will help you track when tasks need to be completed. To add a checklist, click on “Checklist” and enter the items you want to track within the card. Checklists are useful for breaking down tasks into smaller, manageable steps and tracking their completion progress.

How can I integrate Trello with other tools?

Trello offers various integrations through Power-Ups and third-party apps. To add a Power-Up, open your board, click on “Show Menu” on the right, and select “Power-Ups.” Browse or search for the tool you want to integrate (e.g., Slack, Google Drive, Calendar) and click “Add” to enable it. You can also integrate Trello with other tools using Zapier or Automate.io, which allows you to create automated workflows between Trello and hundreds of other applications. These integrations enhance Trello’s functionality and streamline your workflow.

A core issue we identified was that the team was often spending a lot of time creating custom demos, guides, or walkthroughs for unqualified prospects.

Ultimately, this led to a lot of wasted time, a huge amount of burden and effort for already busy staff, and a diffusion of focus on targeting the right prospects.

Prior to Supademo, we were spending countless hours putting together demos and videos across discovery, qualification, training, or simply answering common questions. Creating these could take upwards of 8-10 hours, which is both painful for us, but also less engaging for prospects.

One of my pain points was how time-consuming it was to create product demos for both demonstrations and trade shows manually. The ability to create a Supademo in minutes and the ability to showcase these at conferences has saved us an incredible amount of time!
