Integration

Rize + Trello

Connect Rize with Trello to track time spent on cards and boards automatically. No timers — billable hours are captured in the background and synced via Zapier.

The problem

Why Trello alone isn't enough

Trello is a visual project management tool, not a time tracker. It has no built-in time tracking — teams rely on Power-Ups like Toggl or manual logging to record hours against cards. This adds friction and creates inconsistent data.

For agencies and freelancers billing by the hour, the gap between work done and work logged is the most expensive problem in the business. Short tasks, card-to-card context switches, and Slack discussions about Trello cards rarely get tracked because no one starts a timer for a 5-minute task.

Rize captures all of this automatically. It runs in the background, detects when you are working in Trello (and every other app), and categorizes time by client and project using AI. Via Zapier, that time data can flow back to Trello cards or directly to your invoicing tool.

Key benefits

What you get with Rize

Time tracking without Power-Up friction

Skip the Toggl Power-Up timer. Rize tracks time automatically in the background across every app you use — not just Trello. No buttons to click, no timers to remember.

Accurate billable data for every card

Rize captures the full picture: time in Trello, plus time in Slack, email, Figma, and browsers working on the same project. Your client invoices reflect actual work, not estimates.

Works with your existing Trello workflow

Rize does not change how your team uses Trello. Cards, boards, and lists stay the same. Time data appears automatically — no new habits required from anyone on the team.

Flexible data routing via Zapier

Send Rize time data to Trello card comments, to your invoicing tool, or to a spreadsheet. Zapier connects Rize to 6,000+ apps so time data goes wherever you need it.
