Overview
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.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
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)
Trello
Board
1:1Each 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)
Trello
Board or List
1:manyThe 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)
Trello
Card
1:1Work 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)
Trello
Card (within Board)
1:1Tasks 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
Trello
Collection
1:1TeamBoard 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)
Trello
Card Member
1:1Resource 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)
Trello
External export (JSON artifact)
lossyTrello 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)
Trello
External export (JSON artifact)
lossyTimesheet 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)
Trello
External export (JSON artifact)
lossyVacation 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)
Trello
Workspace or Label taxonomy
1:manyTeamBoard 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.

Custom Fields on TB objects
Trello
Card custom fields or description metadata
1:1TeamBoard 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.

Reports and Dashboards
Trello
External data export (CSV/JSON)
lossyTeamBoard 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
Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
