Overview

What this migration involves

TeamBoard for Salesforce stores its entire data model inside a Salesforce org as custom objects — TB_Project__c, TB_Task__c, TB_Work_Board__c, TB_Resource__c, TB_Time_Entry__c, and TB_Timesheet__c — which means migration is a Salesforce data extraction rather than a proprietary export. We begin by running schema discovery against the source org to enumerate all TeamBoard custom objects and their field sets before mapping anything. Work Items map to Trello Cards, Work Boards map to Trello Boards, and Folders map to Trello Collections. Portfolio-level grouping translates to a Workspace or a label taxonomy in Trello. Approval workflows on timesheets, vacation calendars, and the SOC 2 audit trail have no direct Trello equivalent; we export the full approval history as a JSON artifact for the customer's admin to replay or reference post-migration. We do not migrate Workflows, automations, or report definitions. Trello's Standard plan ($5/user/month) covers most migration scopes; Premium ($10/user/month) adds board Views, custom fields on cards, and admin controls that matter for enterprise move-offs from TeamBoard's Salesforce-native licensing.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Leaving

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce logo

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

What's pushing teams away

  • Users report data inaccuracy in TeamBoard for Monday.com reviews, where task assignments and timelines diverge from what was entered.
  • Upgraded plans are perceived as expensive relative to the features provided, especially when comparing to standalone PM tools with broader functionality.
  • Random task ID generation with no sequential or relation-based structure makes it difficult to reference tasks in external reporting or exports.
  • The Freemium plan cap of 5 projects forces teams to upgrade or split data across multiple workspaces once they exceed the limit.
  • Salesforce's frequent platform updates occasionally break existing TeamBoard workflows, requiring admins to reconfigure integrations.

What's pulling them in

  • Free plan supports unlimited users and 10 boards, giving small teams full access to core Kanban functionality before any paid commitment is required.
  • The drag-and-drop board/card/Label interface requires no training, which reduces adoption friction and onboarding time across distributed teams.
  • Atlassian ecosystem integration with Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket provides native cross-tool workflows for teams already using Atlassian tools.
  • Butler automation on paid tiers enables rule-based triggers without third-party integrations, covering basic workflow automation needs.
  • Simple visual task management with due dates, checklists, and member assignments keeps individual contributors and small teams organized without complexity.

Object mapping

How TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce objects map to Trello

Each row shows how a TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce 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.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

TB_Project__c (Project)

maps to

Trello

Board

1:1
Fully supported

Each TeamBoard Project maps to a Trello Board. Project name becomes Board name; Project start and end dates migrate as Board description metadata or a Card-due-date baseline, not a native board date range (Trello Boards have no start/end fields). We extract Project status (Active, On Hold, Completed) as a label on the first card in each Board so the customer can filter by project state in the Board overview. Portfolios that contain multiple Projects map to a Workspace or a grouping label applied across all child Boards.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

TB_Work_Board__c (Work Board)

maps to

Trello

Board or List

1:many
Fully supported

The Work Board is TeamBoard's core organizing entity. In Trello, the closest structural equivalent is either a Board (for project-level boards) or a List (for workflow-stage boards within a single project Board). We assess the customer's usage pattern: Teams using Work Boards as project-level containers map each Work Board to a distinct Board; Teams using Work Boards as workflow stages within a Project map each Work Board to a List within the Project Board. We confirm the strategy during scoping.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

TB_Work_Item__c (Work Item)

maps to

Trello

Card

1:1
Fully supported

Work Items map to Trello Cards. Work Item name becomes Card title; description becomes Card description (migrated as plain text or Markdown depending on formatting complexity); status maps to the target List (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done); due date maps to Card due date; priority or urgency maps to a Card label. Sub-items attach as Checklist items on the parent Card, preserving the one-level parent-child hierarchy that TeamBoard supports. We preserve the original TB_Work_Item__c ID as a Card comment for traceability.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

TB_Task__c (Task)

maps to

Trello

Card (within Board)

1:1
Fully supported

Tasks under a Work Item in TeamBoard map to Trello Cards in the same Board. If the customer uses TeamBoard's task-table view as a flat task list, we create one Card per task row and nest it under the parent Work Item Card via Checklist. Task assignees map to Card members, resolving Salesforce User ID to Trello member by email. Task status (Not Started, In Progress, Blocked, Complete) maps to the target List.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

Folder

maps to

Trello

Collection

1:1
Fully supported

TeamBoard Folders group Work Boards. Trello Collections serve the same organizational function at the workspace level. We map Folder name to Collection name and associate all child Boards with the Collection. Note that Trello Collections are only available on Standard and Premium plans; we confirm the customer's Trello plan during scoping and flag the upgrade requirement if they are on the Free tier.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

TB_Resource__c (Resource)

maps to

Trello

Card Member

1:1
Fully supported

Resource records store team member assignments with allocation percentage and date ranges against Work Items. We extract all Resource assignments and resolve them to Trello Card members. Allocation percentage and date ranges have no native Trello equivalent; we store these as Card description metadata or as a Checklist item with the allocation details. Resource types (team member, equipment, room) map to Trello member labels or a custom Power-Up field if the customer has Premium.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

TB_Time_Entry__c (Time Entry)

maps to

Trello

External export (JSON artifact)

lossy
Fully supported

Trello has no native time tracking. We export all Time Entry records as a structured JSON file keyed by TB_Work_Item__c ID, with hours, date, user reference, and task association preserved. The customer can import this into a time-tracking Power-Up (TimeCamp, Toggl, Planyo) or a downstream billing system. We do not create Cards from time entries.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

TB_Timesheet__c (Timesheet)

maps to

Trello

External export (JSON artifact)

lossy
Fully supported

Timesheet records aggregate time entries by week or period and carry approval status (Pending, Approved, Rejected). We export the full timesheet history as a JSON artifact with period, owner, total hours, and approval status preserved. Trello has no timesheet or approval concept. We flag that the customer should configure Butler automation or use an external approval tool if they need to replay approval workflows post-migration.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

TB_Vacation_Request__c (Vacation/Calendar)

maps to

Trello

External export (JSON artifact)

lossy
Fully supported

Vacation requests and calendar entries in TeamBoard carry approval status and date ranges. We export these as JSON records with employee name, dates, status, and approving manager. Trello has no calendar or absence management feature. This data is out of scope for Trello migration and is delivered as a reference artifact for the customer's HR or operations team.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

TB_Portfolio__c (Portfolio)

maps to

Trello

Workspace or Label taxonomy

1:many
Fully supported

TeamBoard Portfolios group multiple Work Boards under a single oversight entity. In Trello, this maps to either a Workspace (the top-level organizational unit) or a label taxonomy applied across all child Boards. We assess during scoping whether the customer has multiple Portfolios that should map to separate Workspaces or a single Workspace with labeled boards. Workspaces are the preferred mapping for distinct business units; label taxonomy is preferred for thematic grouping within one team.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

Custom Fields on TB objects

maps to

Trello

Card custom fields or description metadata

1:1
Fully supported

TeamBoard extends its custom Salesforce objects with fields that vary by org (project metadata, task properties, resource attributes). We run field-level discovery on TB_Project__c, TB_Work_Item__c, and TB_Task__c to enumerate every custom field. High-value fields (priority, cost code, client name) map to Trello Card custom fields on Premium or to Card description text on Standard. The customer chooses the strategy during scoping based on their Trello plan.

TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce

Reports and Dashboards

maps to

Trello

External data export (CSV/JSON)

lossy
Fully supported

TeamBoard reports are configured against Salesforce objects and include project health, resource utilization, and schedule adherence views. Report definitions are not portable. We export the underlying data (project status, task counts, time totals, resource allocations) as CSV so equivalent reports can be configured in Trello, Atlassian Analytics, or a BI tool. We scope the migration around data export, not report migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • TeamBoard custom object schema requires explicit discovery

    TeamBoard stores Projects, Work Items, Tasks, Resources, and Timesheets as Salesforce custom objects with names like TB_Project__c and TB_Work_Item__c that vary by org version and are not publicly documented in a reference schema. Before migrating, we run a schema discovery step against the source Salesforce org using the Tooling API to enumerate all TeamBoard custom objects, their field sets, and their lookup relationships. Skipping this step silently drops fields we did not know existed. We include the schema discovery output in the scoping document before any data moves.

  • Timesheet and vacation approval status cannot carry forward into Trello

    TeamBoard's timesheet approval and vacation request workflows carry a status field (Pending, Approved, Rejected) that has no Trello equivalent. We export the full approval history as a JSON artifact with dates, approvers, and status preserved. The destination system cannot replay these approvals natively. We flag this during discovery and recommend that the customer either configures Butler automation to approximate the workflow or plans to handle approvals manually during the transition period. Approvals in flight at cutover require explicit customer decisions about whether to complete them in TeamBoard before going live in Trello.

  • Salesforce API quota governs extraction throughput

    As a Salesforce-native app, TeamBoard migration pulls data through the Salesforce REST and Bulk APIs. API call limits vary by Salesforce edition (Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited) and concurrent integration usage. We pace our extraction requests, monitor daily API usage limits, and schedule bulk extraction runs during off-peak Salesforce hours. Orgs with active Salesforce integrations (marketing automation, ERP connectors) may see reduced available quota and longer extraction windows. We coordinate extraction windows with the customer's Salesforce admin during scoping.

  • Resource allocation percentages and capacity data have no Trello equivalent

    TeamBoard's Resource Scheduler stores allocation percentage and date ranges per team member per task. Trello has no capacity view, allocation tracking, or workload management feature beyond Card assignee. We export resource allocation data as structured JSON keyed by task and user, but this does not surface in Trello without a Premium Power-Up or an external capacity tool. We flag this gap explicitly and ask the customer to confirm whether capacity reporting is required in the destination or if a standalone capacity tool will replace it.

  • Report definitions and Salesforce dashboards do not migrate

    TeamBoard reports are configured as Salesforce report types and dashboards against TeamBoard custom objects. These definitions cannot be exported as structured data. We extract the underlying data (project status, task counts, time totals) as CSV so the customer can build equivalent views in Trello Board analytics, Atlassian Analytics, or a BI tool. We deliver a written inventory of all active TeamBoard reports as a reference document for the customer's admin to use during rebuild.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful TeamBoard - Work Management & Project Management for Salesforce to Trello data migration

  1. Salesforce org audit and schema discovery

    We connect to the source Salesforce org with a read-only migration user and enumerate all TeamBoard custom objects using the Salesforce Tooling API. We identify TB_Project__c, TB_Work_Item__c, TB_Task__c, TB_Work_Board__c, TB_Resource__c, TB_Time_Entry__c, TB_Timesheet__c, and TB_Vacation_Request__c along with every custom field on each object. We map all lookup relationships (Work Item to Project, Resource to User, Time Entry to Task) to understand the parent-child dependency tree. We also assess Salesforce edition and current API usage to plan extraction pacing. The discovery output is a schema map, record counts per object, and a migration scope document for the customer to sign off.

  2. Trello destination setup and object mapping design

    We configure the Trello destination org: create Workspaces (mapped from TeamBoard Portfolios), create Boards (mapped from Projects and Work Boards), create Lists (mapped from Work Board workflow stages), and set up Collections for Folders on Standard or Premium plans. We design the Work Item-to-Card mapping, the Sub-item-to-Checklist mapping, the assignee resolution (Salesforce User ID to Trello member by email), and the custom field strategy based on the customer's Trello plan. We present the mapping design document for customer sign-off before any data extraction begins.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into the customer's Trello Workspace using a representative data sample. The customer's project manager and Salesforce admin reconcile record counts (Projects in, Boards created; Work Items in, Cards created; Resources in, Members assigned), spot-check 25-50 Cards against the source TeamBoard records for field accuracy, and verify that Lists and Collections match the source Work Board structure. We correct any mapping errors before the production migration window. We also validate that the approval history JSON artifact is complete and correctly keyed.

  4. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Workspaces (from Portfolios), Boards (from Projects and Work Boards), Lists (from Work Board stages), then Cards (from Work Items and Tasks), with Sub-items as Checklist items. Resource assignments resolve User IDs to Trello member emails and attach as Card members. Custom fields populate either as Trello custom fields (Premium) or as Card description text (Standard). Time Entry, Timesheet, and Vacation Request records export as JSON artifacts alongside the Card migration. We emit a row-count reconciliation report after each phase before the next begins.

  5. Cutover and approval artifact delivery

    We freeze writes to the source Salesforce org during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then hand the destination Trello Workspace to the customer's project team. We deliver the approval history JSON (Timesheet and Vacation), the report inventory document (listing every TeamBoard report with its Salesforce object source), and a written automation map documenting the Butler triggers or Power-Ups the customer should configure to approximate TeamBoard's approval workflows. We do not rebuild workflows or configure Butler as part of standard migration scope.

  6. Hypercare and post-migration support

    We support a one-week hypercare window after cutover during which we resolve any record reconciliation issues (missing Cards, incorrect List placement, assignee mismatches) raised by the customer's project team. We do not provide ongoing admin support, Butler configuration, or Power-Up setup as part of the migration scope; these are separate engagements. We also do not migrate Salesforce reports to Trello Board analytics; we deliver the underlying data and the report inventory document as specified in the approach.

Strengths

  • SOC 2 Type II certified and hosted on Google Cloud, meeting enterprise security and compliance requirements.
  • Fully Salesforce-native, meaning no separate login and data stays inside the existing Salesforce org.
  • Drag-and-drop resource scheduling and Gantt chart visualization with a shallow learning curve for Salesforce users.
  • Integrated time tracking and timesheet approval workflows eliminate the need for separate time management tools.
  • Freemium tier lets teams trial the full feature set on up to 5 projects before committing to a per-user paid plan.

Weaknesses

  • Users report data inaccuracy in task timelines and assignments, which complicates migration scoping for historical accuracy.
  • Task IDs are randomly generated with no sequential or relational structure, making it harder to match records across systems.
  • Premium pricing at $19/user/month plus Salesforce licensing creates a combined cost that rivals standalone PM platforms.
  • Salesforce platform updates can break TeamBoard workflows unexpectedly, requiring ongoing maintenance by an admin.
  • Limited to Salesforce as the host platform, with no meaningful functionality outside the Salesforce environment.
