Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with Trello Business Class/Enterprise?

Yes. The Trello API is consistent across plan levels. Enterprise Workspace-level features (like org-wide permissions) are not exposed through the API, but card/board management works identically.

Can I use this with other Kanban tools?

Linear and GitHub Projects have their own separate skills. Jira integration is available as a community skill on ClawHub.
