Troubleshooting

  • Verify API Key and Token are correct
  • Check that Board ID and List ID exist
  • Ensure the token has write permissions
  • Try regenerating the token
Use this URL pattern:
https://api.trello.com/1/boards/BOARD_ID/lists?key=API_KEY&token=TOKEN
Replace BOARD_ID, API_KEY, and TOKEN with your values.
Generate a new token with expiration=never for permanent access.

​
Advanced: Labels and Members

Currently, Spike creates basic cards. For advanced features like labels or assigned members, use Webhooks to send data to a custom endpoint that uses the full Trello API.
