How do I display our Trello Yearly Planner in Slack

[Mark Phillips]

The Calendar Power Up is the best display for our Yearly Planner.

How do I get it displayed in Slack?

We've already setup the integration but it seems in only provides a link to a Trello page that then needs to be clicked to get the Calendar View.

Is there an easy way we can display our Board in Slack ?

@Mark Phillips you want to show a calendar in slack? can you explain more about what you're hoping to see in Slack? i don't think I've seen any tool provide a calendar in slack, so i can't visualize this so hard to help come up with ideas

Thanks Brittany - ideally, we'd have something like available in a Slack channel.  Maybe as a pinned tab so that the team can see what the week's plan includes.

@Mark Phillips interesting. so you're looking for like an embeddable iframe sort of thing? i don't actually know if slack supports things like that as pinned tabs, i think it's generally messages or links and i don't think I've seen messages be able to be "live" updates. So personally i can't think of another way besides clicking a link to view the calendar. 

You could possibly create some automation to send a message in a slack channel at the start of the week with tasks that are coming up for the week? but again, would be text and not a calendar view

Embedded iframe, image, whatever - I don't mind

In Slack you get to see live images, webpage summaries etc - I'm just looking for a Yearly Planner that the team can quickly refer while they're working.

Maybe I'll keep looking for other tools apart from Trello.

@Mark Phillips yeah let me know what you find! I agree it's interesting, just don't know of any slack tools that show that!
