Overview
Streamtime and Trello occupy opposite ends of the project management spectrum. Streamtime treats Jobs as the financial center of gravity with embedded time tracking, rate cards, invoicing, and budget burn baked into every project. Trello is a visual Kanban tool organized around Boards, Lists, and Cards with no native time tracking, billing, or financial reporting. Migrating between them is primarily a structure translation exercise: we map Streamtime Jobs to Trello Boards, To-Dos to Cards with Checklist items, Companies to workspace Labels or dedicated Boards, and Time Entries to a separate Trello Board or an exported spreadsheet for historical reference. The financial document layer (Quotes, Invoices, POs, Rate Cards) has no native Trello equivalent — we preserve the data as structured reference cards or CSV exports rather than as live records. We do not migrate Streamtime Workflows, Automations, or financial reports to Trello because these concepts do not exist in Trello natively; we deliver a written inventory of every Streamtime automation requiring rebuild via Trello Butler or a third-party Power-Up.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Streamtime object lands in Trello, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Streamtime
Job
Trello
Board
1:1Streamtime Jobs map directly to Trello Boards. Each Job's name, description, status, and start/due dates translate to the Board name, description, and optional Power-Up calendar view. Job budgets and commercial document associations are preserved as Board descriptions or as Cards in a dedicated reference List since Trello has no native financial fields. Template Jobs migrate as Boards with pre-populated List and Card structure; the customer recreates templates in Trello from migrated Boards if repeatable structure is needed.
Streamtime
To-Do
Trello
Card
1:1Streamtime To-Dos within Jobs map to Trello Cards within the target Board. The To-Do name becomes the Card title, description becomes the Card description, completion status maps to Card archival or a Done List, and any linked time entries are preserved as Checklist items or as a separate Time Entries Board. Assignees resolve to Trello Board Members by email match; any assignee without a matching Trello Member account enters a reconciliation queue for the customer admin to provision.
Streamtime
Company
Trello
Label or Board
1:manyStreamtime Companies as clients map to Trello Labels with a client-specific color and name (e.g., Label 'Acme Corp' applied to all Cards for that client). For clients with complex or multi-project relationships, we create a dedicated Board per Company and nest project Cards within it. The customer chooses the strategy during scoping based on the volume of Companies and whether client-level reporting is needed.
Streamtime
Team Member
Trello
Member
1:1Streamtime Team Members assigned to Jobs and To-Dos map to Trello Board Members. We resolve by email address match. Member roles in Streamtime (Admin, Standard) have no direct Trello analog beyond Board-level Admin/Member/Observer, so we assign the nearest Trello role during migration. Inactive Streamtime team members without a Trello account are migrated as archived Members or retained in a reconciliation report.
Streamtime
Time Entry
Trello
Card in Time Entries Board
1:1Streamtime Time Entries log against Jobs with duration, team member, date, and notes. Trello has no native time tracking object. We create a dedicated Trello Board (or workspace for reference) where each Time Entry becomes a Card in a 'Logged Time' List with duration, date, team member, and notes stored as Card fields and Checklist items. For customers who need numeric duration for reporting, we export the Time Entry dataset as a structured CSV alongside the Trello migration for use in external time-tracking tools (Clockify, Toggl, or QuickBooks).
Streamtime
Schedule
Trello
Due Date + Calendar Power-Up
1:1Streamtime Schedules allocate team member time against Jobs. We map Schedule allocations to Trello Card due dates and, where available, the Trello Calendar Power-Up (Standard tier and above) to surface allocation windows visually. Gantt-style schedule views do not exist natively in Trello; the customer may activate the Timeline Power-Up (Premium tier) for a horizontal scheduling view if that capability is required post-migration.
Streamtime
Rate Card
Trello
Card in Rate Cards Board
lossyStreamtime Rate Cards define pricing tiers by role, item, or expense per client or project. Trello has no rate or pricing object. We create a dedicated Board with Cards representing each Rate Card, and line items (role, rate, currency) become Checklist items within each Card. The Board serves as a reference document; actual billing must continue in a dedicated accounting tool (QuickBooks, Xero, or the customer's preferred invoicing platform) post-migration.
Streamtime
Quote
Trello
Card in Quotes Board
1:1Streamtime Quotes are commercial documents with line items, pricing, and status (Draft, Sent, Accepted). Trello has no quoting object. We create a dedicated Board where each Quote becomes a Card with line items as Checklist items, totals in the Card description, and status tracked via List (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Rejected) or Label. PDF attachments from Streamtime migrate as Card attachments. The customer continues managing quote-to-invoice workflows outside Trello.
Streamtime
Invoice
Trello
Card in Invoices Board
1:1Streamtime Invoices include line items, amounts, currency, and payment status tied to Jobs. Trello has no invoice object. We create a dedicated Board where each Invoice becomes a Card with line items as Checklist items, total amount in the Card description, and payment status tracked via List (Unpaid, Sent, Paid, Overdue) or Label. Currency and payment details migrate as structured Card fields. The customer manages invoice delivery and payment tracking in a dedicated accounting platform post-migration.
Streamtime
Purchase Order
Trello
Card in POs Board
1:1Streamtime Purchase Orders contain vendor associations, line items, and amounts. Trello has no PO object. We create a dedicated Board where each PO becomes a Card with vendor name, line items as Checklist items, and total amount in the Card description. PO status tracks via List or Label. The customer manages PO workflows outside Trello post-migration.
Streamtime
Attachment
Trello
Card Attachment
1:1Streamtime file attachments linked to Jobs and commercial documents migrate as Trello Card attachments. We transfer the file URL reference and file name metadata. For large attachment sets (over 500 files per Job), we batch the migration to avoid memory issues documented in Trello API migration tooling, and we flag any attachments that exceed Trello's 10MB per-file limit for manual handling.
Streamtime
Custom Field
Trello
Custom Field Power-Up
lossyStreamtime Custom Fields on Jobs and other objects map to Trello Custom Fields via the Custom Fields Power-Up (available from Standard tier). We preserve field name, data type (text, number, date, dropdown), and value. Trello Custom Fields support text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox, and currency types. If the destination Trello workspace is on the Free tier, Custom Fields Power-Up is not available and we document custom field values as Card descriptions or Checklist items instead.
Streamtime
Template Job
Trello
Board (as template reference)
lossyStreamtime Template Jobs with pre-configured To-Do structures map to Trello Boards that serve as template references. Trello has no native template board feature (Templates require the paid Trello Standard or Premium tier to create from Boards, or the customer copies a Board manually). We migrate the template structure as a Board with Lists and Cards; the customer activates Trello Templates from an existing Board if recurring project setup is required. This is a known limitation of migrating templates into Trello.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Streamtime gotchas
API rate limits can interrupt bulk migration jobs
Only the account subscriber can access the API key
Financial export permissions are separate from job permissions
Template Jobs require upfront setup before migration
Trello gotchas
Billing model uses maximum seat quantity at term midpoint
Custom Field data historically stored in pluginData
API rate limits are token-gated and can block bulk migration
Guest-to-paid seat conversion triggers on multi-board membership
Automation command runs are capped per plan and overage triggers upgrade pressure
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source Streamtime account to identify the full dataset: Jobs (active, archived, template), To-Dos with assignees and completion status, Companies, Team Members, Time Entries (volume and date range), Rate Cards, Quotes, Invoices, POs, and Custom Field definitions. We verify that the account subscriber credentials are available for API access (only the subscriber can retrieve the API key per Streamtime's permission model) and confirm that the migration user account has both Job view/edit permissions and financial export permissions. The discovery output is a written data inventory with record counts per object and a flag for any gaps requiring pre-migration data preparation.
Destination workspace setup
We assess the target Trello workspace tier (Free, Standard, or Premium) and confirm which Power-Ups are available for the migration scope: Custom Fields (Standard+), Calendar (Standard+), and Timeline (Premium). We create the Board structure in the destination workspace: one Board per Job (or per client grouping based on the scoping decision), a dedicated Time Entries Board, a Rate Cards Board, a Quotes Board, an Invoices Board, and a POs Board. Lists are created within each Board to reflect the To-Do hierarchy or the document status progression from Streamtime. Board Members are provisioned by inviting Team Members by email.
Schema mapping and transformation logic
We design the field mapping between Streamtime objects and Trello schema: Job name to Board name, Job description to Board description, To-Do name to Card title, To-Do description to Card description, Streamtime assignees to Trello Board Members by email, Streamtime due dates to Card due dates, and Custom Fields to Trello Custom Field types. For Time Entries, Rate Cards, Quotes, Invoices, and POs, we define the transformation to Checklist items and Card description fields since no native Trello equivalent exists. The mapping document is reviewed with the customer before any data moves.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Trello workspace (using a test Board set that mirrors production structure) to validate the transformation logic, verify Card and Board counts, and spot-check 25-50 records against the Streamtime source. Any mapping corrections, Custom Field type mismatches, or missing Member invitations are resolved in this step. The customer reviews the sandbox output and signs off before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in the following order: Companies (as Labels or client Boards), Team Members (as Board Members), Jobs (as Boards with Lists), To-Dos (as Cards), Time Entries (as Cards in Time Entries Board), Rate Cards (as Cards in Rate Cards Board), Quotes (as Cards in Quotes Board), Invoices (as Cards in Invoices Board), and POs (as Cards in POs Board). Attachments transfer as Card attachments with batch chunking to avoid memory issues on large attachment sets. Custom Fields populate via the Custom Fields Power-Up if Standard tier or above; Free tier workspaces receive field values as structured Card description text.
Cutover, validation, and Butler rebuild handoff
We freeze writes in Streamtime during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Trello as the system of record. We deliver a reconciliation report comparing source record counts to destination Card and Board counts, and a written inventory of every Streamtime Workflow and automation requiring rebuild in Trello Butler or a third-party Power-Up. We do not rebuild Streamtime Workflows as Trello Butler rules inside the migration scope; that work is documented and handed to the customer's admin or a Trello partner for post-migration rebuild.
