In the blog post, Dale McDiarmid outlines the process of integrating Trello data into Elastic Workplace Search using the Custom Source API. This integration enhances the accessibility and searchability of Trello's Kanban-style boards, which are valuable for tracking tasks and facilitating organizational collaboration. The guide provides a step-by-step explanation of setting up a Python script to ingest Trello data, such as team boards, cards, and comments, into Workplace Search, emphasizing the importance of metadata and the need for synchronization and security considerations. It illustrates how to configure Trello and Workplace Search APIs for data ingestion, create a custom content source, and adjust schemas and display settings for optimal search results. The post notes that while the example focuses on a limited dataset, it opens possibilities for cross-team collaboration and reducing duplicated work. Additionally, it highlights potential security complexities regarding access permissions, which will be explored in future discussions.
