Polar in Trello: the work written from the numbers, not from memory.
Trello is where the work gets assigned. Connect Polar and an agent reads your governed metrics, then writes the weekly plan and the action items straight into your lists, tagged by priority, owner and channel, on a schedule. Polar is the numbers; Trello is where they turn into work.

How to Connect Trello to Polar.
A Polar account with your stack connected, a Trello workspace, and an agent with the Polar MCP and your Trello.
01 · What you need
A Polar account with your stack
A Polar account with Shopify and your sources connected. Trello gets the same governed metrics your dashboards do.
Connect your data →A Trello workspace
A Trello workspace and one list or doc where the plan and the action items will land. Start with a single weekly list.
Open Trello →An agent with both connectors
An assistant (like Claude) with the Polar MCP and Trello connected, so it can read your data and create the tasks in one flow.
02 · Connect Polar and Trello to your agent
1
Give your agent the Polar MCP ~2 min
Governed metrics, first-party and sourced.
Connect the Polar MCP to your assistant. It reads your governed semantic layer,
net sales, blended CAC, contribution margin, so every task it writes is grounded in a real number.2
Connect your Trello ~2 min
The list it will write to.
1
Point the agent at the Trello list or doc it should write to, a weekly planning list, or a growth backlog.
2
It uses two connectors together: Polar for the numbers, Trello to turn them into assigned work.
3
Draft and schedule the payoff
Tasks, on a cadence.
Ask once for the weekly plan or for action items tagged by priority, owner and channel. Put it on a schedule and the list fills itself every Monday, before the standup.

Side by side
Trello holds the work. Polar decides what the work should be.
Tasks and lists live in Trello, and the numbers that should drive them live somewhere else, so the weekly plan gets written from memory. Polar supplies the governed figures and an agent turns them into tagged, assignable work.

The plan is written from memory, not from the data.
Tasks generated from Polar's governed numbers.
Every metric quoted in a task is looked up by hand.
Each item cites the metric that created it.
Someone has to spot a problem before it becomes work.
A task appears when a metric crosses your threshold.
The list depends on whoever filled it in.
The same inputs and the same definitions, every week.
The Gap
The connector is only half of it.
Your agent reads Polar's governed metrics over MCP and turns them into work inside Trello: a filled weekly list, tasks tagged by owner and channel, a review doc that cites its numbers. First-party and sourced, never remembered.
