Trello Integration for WordPress to Stay in The Loop

Email marketing is a vital step to scale your business. And there are many email marketing practices that you should follow or stay away from to make the experience more smooth. 

However, before sending out the emails, you will first need a well-organized system to collect and store these emails. Trello works excellent in this regard. You can collect emails using a newsletter, and after connecting the form with your Trello board, all the data you collected will be stored accordingly.

Trello integration is very effective and saves you the trouble of going through heaps of data alone. But first, what is Trello?
