When CompanyCam and Trello operate independently, project managers often miss critical photo documentation updates. For instance, if a field team uploads a photo of a completed task in CompanyCam, that information does not automatically reflect in Trello. This leads to project boards lacking up-to-date visual evidence, causing project managers to manually check CompanyCam for updates. This manual cross-referencing wastes valuable time and can result in miscommunication about project statuses, ultimately delaying project timelines.

Top Ways to Automate CompanyCam & Trello

  • Automated Photo Uploads: Instantly attach photos from CompanyCam to Trello cards, ensuring that all visual documentation is readily accessible within your project management framework.
  • Real-Time Status Updates: Automatically update Trello card statuses based on photo submissions in CompanyCam, providing your team with immediate visibility into project progress and reducing the need for manual check-ins.
  • Streamlined Task Assignments: Create Trello tasks directly from CompanyCam photos, allowing team members to assign and prioritize work based on the latest visual documentation, enhancing accountability and efficiency.

How to Build the CompanyCam → Trello Sync

  1. In CompanyCam, set up a webhook to trigger on the 'Photo Uploaded' event. The webhook should send a POST request to your integration endpoint.
  2. Your integration endpoint should parse the incoming JSON payload to extract the 'photo_url', 'project_id', and 'description' fields.
  3. Using the Trello API, make a POST request to the '/1/cards' endpoint. Include the extracted 'project_id' as the 'idList' parameter and the 'photo_url' and 'description' as part of the card's 'name' and 'desc' fields, respectively.
  4. Test the integration by uploading a photo in CompanyCam and verifying that a new card appears in the corresponding Trello board.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

  • Ensure that the 'project_id' extracted from the CompanyCam payload corresponds correctly to the Trello list IDs; mismatches can lead to cards being created in the wrong lists.
  • When constructing the card in Trello, if the 'description' field exceeds the character limit, the API will return an error, halting the process.
  • Be cautious with the photo URL format; Trello may not support certain URL types, which could result in broken links in the card descriptions.

Supported API Operations

We leverage official, stable endpoints to ensure secure data transfer. No deprecated legacy routes.
