How to schedule comments in Trello

Everything you need to get started with PrimeScheduler: setup, scheduling, plans and privacy. About three minutes.

Get started in four steps

  1. Add PrimeScheduler to your board

    On the board, open Power-Ups, search for PrimeScheduler and click Add. A short welcome explains the basics.

  2. Connect your Trello account, once

    Trello only lets an app post under your name while you’re away if you allow it. Click Connect your Trello account and confirm in the Trello window. You won’t be asked again.

  3. Write the comment and pick a time

    Open any card and click Schedule comment. Write your comment and type @ to mention someone. Then pick a time: a quick pick like Tomorrow 9:00, or your own day, hour and minute. Click Schedule.

  4. It posts on time, as you

    At the chosen minute the comment appears on the card under your own name, and everyone you mentioned gets the usual Trello notification. Trello doesn’t need to be open.

Privacy and disconnecting

PrimeScheduler stores your Trello access token encrypted (AES-256-GCM) on EU servers and uses it only to post the comments you schedule.

To disconnect, open the popup and click Disconnect account, or use the Power-Up settings on the board. This deletes the token and cancels comments that are still waiting. More on the Security page.

Questions

Does the comment post if my computer is off?

Yes. Scheduled comments are sent from PrimeScheduler’s servers, so Trello and your computer can be closed.

Can I edit a scheduled comment?

Not yet. Cancel it with × and schedule a new one.

Who sees the comment before it posts?

Only you, in the PrimeScheduler popup. It appears on the card for everyone at the scheduled time.

Does my team need to pay separately?

No. Pro covers everyone in the Trello workspace, so one subscription is enough.

What happens to scheduled comments when I reach the free limit?

Comments you already scheduled still post. The limit only applies when you schedule a new one.
