The Trello + PassKit integration lets you issue or update digital passes based on card activity like moving a card to a specific list, adding a label, or changing a due date. It’s a simple way to trigger wallet pass actions from within team workflows or client boards.

Setting Up The Integration

To connect Trello with PassKit:

  1. In PassKit, create and publish your pass project (e.g. membership, event ticket, coupon, or internal ID).
  2. Go to Settings > Developer Tools in PassKit to access your API region, SDK host, and API prefix.
  3. Generate your API credentials to allow authenticated communication.
  4. In Trello, set a trigger such as:
    • A card is moved to a list like “Ready to Issue”
    • A label like “Send Pass” is added
    • A custom field is marked (e.g. “Approved”)
  5. Use Zapier, Make, or a webhook handler to watch for that trigger and send data to PassKit.
  6. Map Trello fields like name, email, or card title to the fields in your PassKit pass template.
  7. Set up follow-up actions like sending an email with the pass URL or updating the pass when the card is archived or changed.

This creates a simple, action-based workflow from Trello to your digital pass system.

Common Use Cases

Trello + PassKit is useful for small teams or businesses using boards for project delivery or approvals.

  • Issue a digital access pass when a card moves to “Approved”
  • Send a welcome pass when a client onboarding card is completed
  • Deliver tickets or coupons from an “Issued” list
  • Update a pass when card details change (like tier level or expiration)
  • Revoke a pass when a card is moved to “Canceled” or archived

This keeps pass delivery tied to the same place your team tracks progress.

Requirements

To use this setup, you’ll need:

  • A PassKit account with a published pass
  • A Trello account with board and automation access
  • API credentials from PassKit Developer Tools
  • A connector like Zapier, Make, or a webhook system
  • Card fields mapped to your pass template

No developer needed unless you’re building a custom backend.
