Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even seasoned users may stumble upon a few pitfalls when integrating TickTick into Trello. Here are some common mistakes and how to troubleshoot them:
- Incorrect Embed Code: Double-check that you’ve copied the correct embed code from TickTick. A single character off could break the embed.
- Neglecting Permissions: If you're part of a team and others can’t see the embedded tasks, ensure that the TickTick list is set to a shared status.
- Not Testing the Embed: Always preview your Trello cards to ensure everything appears correctly. Testing helps identify layout issues before others see it.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If the embed doesn’t show: Check the settings of your TickTick list. Make sure it’s not set to private.
- If links are not working: Sometimes, browsers can block iframes. Ensure your browser settings allow embedded content.
- For visual issues: Adjust the iframe size in your Trello card until you get the desired look.
