A hire with no card
Nobody created it.
Lever to Trello automation for small teams that run hiring on a board
Lever to Trello automation that turns accepted offers and hires into cards with checklists, members and due dates, kept in step inside Trello's rate limits
Trello's 429 says whether the key limit of 300 or the token limit of 100 requests per 10 seconds was hit, and Trello recommends webhooks over polling. BoldBellows notes the opportunity ID, the posting and the target board before a card is touched, reads Trello's rate headers and prefers its webhooks to polling, then creates one card per accepted offer or hired opportunity on the right board and list, adds the standard checklist, assigns the members you name, sets due dates from the start date, moves the card when Lever changes, and archives it if the archive reason changes away from hired. Nothing about pay or confidential postings goes onto a card.

B2Before and after
The onboarding card exists only if someone remembered to create it
Small teams run hiring on a board, and the board is only as complete as the memory of whoever updates it. A start date that moves leaves old due dates, a hire whose archive reason changes leaves a live card, and the checklist is a copy of the last hire's with their name in it. Polling Trello for changes spends the per-token budget when webhooks would have done it for free.
Sound familiar?
Dates from the last hire
Cards were copied.
A moved start date
The card was not updated.
A changed outcome, a live card
The reason was not read.
A loop that hits the limit
Polling ignored the budget.
A card made twice
No merge key.
The same small team, with a board that stays right
Before
- A repeated notice writes the Lever card again
- Cards are made by hand and copied for Lever to Trello
- A moved date is fixed if someone notices for Lever to Trello
After
- A second delivery lands on the same card through the Lever opportunity ID, tied to its Trello card
- Each hire gets one Trello card with a checklist
- Dates follow the Trello record and requests stay under the limit
D4How it works
How Lever offers and hires become cards with checklists, members and dates
First the change is judged, then identified, then matched and written, in that Lever order every time.
1. Verify and admit
Each Lever event is authenticated, stamped, and admitted only if it meets the rule you wrote.
2. Read, match, create
Offers and hires are read, matched on the opportunity ID, and turned into cards with a checklist and members.
3. Move, pace, check
Cards move as the record changes, requests stay under the limits, and a scheduled check compares the board with Lever.

I9Your options
Choosing how Lever reaches Trello: a card made by hand whenever someone remembers, a zap or a card-per-opportunity sync
Each can create a card. Only one matches by opportunity, sets dates from the record and stays inside the limits.
| The starting signal | a card made by hand whenever someone remembers | An off-the-shelf Lever-Trello zap | BoldBellows' card-per-opportunity sync |
|---|---|---|---|
| What starts the work | Someone reads the notification | A trigger fires on every match | A Lever event your rule lets through |
| How identity is decided | Whoever notices searches by email | A visible label is trusted as unique | Opportunity ID, tied to its card |
| What reaches Trello | Text typed from memory | Every field, unchecked | One Trello card per hire with checklist, members and due date |
| After an uncertain result | Somebody audits by hand | The failure is retried blindly | Looks up the Lever card, checks its state, repairs or assigns |
An old update lands last
The incoming time is checked against what Trello holds, and an older Lever change is recorded rather than applied.
A hire's start date moves back by two weeks
The change is read from Lever, the card's due dates and list are updated, the checklist keeps its progress, and no second card is created. A search on the Lever opportunity ID, tied to its Trello card comes first, and what it returns is filed as absent, correct, altered or uncertain. Making a new Trello card is the last resort, used only when the lookup comes back empty.
The first thing agreed is the Lever opportunity ID, tied to its Trello card, and only then are fields chosen and routes drawn.

The card receives the fields the work needs and nothing else, and private Lever notes are never copied.
Verify, then continue
The route reads the Lever card back from Trello before it decides whether anything still has to be written.
Minimal logging
What gets logged is the Lever event and its result, never the content of a record.
Full handover
