Sending a comment to Trello
Your comment needs to be in a certain format. Each parameter needs to be in the form parameter:value and all parameters need to be separated by semi-colons. The order and spacing does not matter. Here is an example:
// board:sample-board;list:sample-list;name:sample-name;desc:this is a description
The above will create a card in a list called 'sample-list' in a board called 'sample-board' and the name of the card will be 'sample-name' and it will have description 'this is a description'. Here is a list of parameters you can include in your comment. The names of the parameters in your comment must match the names in the table below exactly.
| Parameter Name | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| board | The name of the board you would like to add to | Yes |
| list | The name of the list on the board above | Yes |
| name | The name of the card you would like to create | Yes |
| desc | The description of the card | No |
| pos | The position of the new card: 'top', 'bottom', or a positive float | No |
| due | A due date for the card in the format YYYY-MM-DD | No |
| dueComplete | A boolean value whether the card is complete or not | No |
| idMembers | Comma-separated list of member IDs to add to the card | No |
| idLabels | Comma-separated list of label IDs to add to the card | No |
| urlSource | A URL starting with http:// or https:// | No |
| idCardSource | The ID of a card to copy into the new card | No |

Once you have your comment, simple highlight the comment then click the "Send to Trello" button that is at the bottom of your Atom workspace and you will receive a notification that says your card was either added successfully or unsuccessfully
