How to Build a Trello Master Board with 2-Way Sync and Automated Updates

🔨 Learn how to build a Trello master board with the help of Unito's workflow management platform. 🛠️

A master board enables users in a single Trello board to oversee and dispatch tasks across multiple other Trello boards. Synced cards are linked together with real-time updates on either end based on your preferences (so the master board owner can enable only one-way changes if they prefer more control, or allow 2-way changes for greater collaboration).

This workflow is only recommended for Trello users with multiple boards that need to be aligned. It can scale from syncing hundreds of cards to thousands or even tens of thousands depending on your use case.
