Archive Trello boards into a Google Doc with Claude Code
An HR leader used Claude Code to archive 10 Trello boards and 3,000 cards into a 1,000-page Google Doc in 19 minutes; the guide also cites cancelling subscriptions and recovering photos.
- What They Did
- The guide gives this only one sentence. An HR leader archived 10 Trello boards and 3,000 cards into a single 1,000-page Google Doc. The guide doesn't describe the setup, the prompts, or where the person stepped in. It links to an HR-focused Substack post for the original account.
- How It Went
- The archive took 19 minutes and produced a 1,000-page Google Doc. The guide gives no detail on accuracy, errors, or any checking afterward.
- Worth Knowing
- The guide says Claude Code needs a paid plan (Pro is $20 a month). It also advises working in a dedicated folder, keeping backups, and telling the agent never to delete anything.
I have a Trello workspace with [number] boards I want to archive. Using my exported Trello JSON files in [folder path], pull every card with its title, description, comments, checklists, and attachments links, and compile them into one organized document grouped by board and list, saved as [Word or Markdown file] that I can upload to Google Docs. You're done when every board and card is included and you've given me a count of boards and cards processed. Show me your plan before you delete or overwrite any files.
