One click, switched on ## Scheduling - ### Date poll Available Propose dates or time slots on a card; members and guests without an account vote (yes, if need be, no). The chosen slot becomes the due date. Covers: Doodle Needs: Due dates (turned on with it) Video: the organiser picks the best evening of the date poll – it becomes the card’s due date. The best date wins - ### Booking page Available A public page where clients book free time slots. Every booking becomes a card with a due date, confirmed by e-mail with a calendar file. Covers: Calendly Needs: Due dates (turned on with it) Video: on a phone, someone books a get-to-know-you talk on the public booking page – confirmed at once. Book a slot ## Planning - ### Due dates On for new boards Due dates on cards with overdue hints, shown as a date or a countdown. Covers: Countdown Video: a due date is set in the card’s details, and the card on the board shows it at once. Dates on the card - ### Calendar Available Cards by due date in a month and a week view. Drag cards to another day, schedule unplanned cards, export as .ics. Covers: Calendar Power-Up Needs: Due dates (turned on with it) Video: in a board’s calendar, a card without a date is dragged onto a day of the week. Drag onto a day - ### List limits Available A WIP limit per list: a counter in the list header, and the list is highlighted when it has too many cards. Covers: List Limits Video: the list “In progress” holds three cards – a fourth turns its counter and the list red. A limit per list - ### Card snooze Available Hides a card until a date, then it comes back by itself. A board page lists all snoozed cards. Covers: Card Snooze Video: a card is snoozed until next week and leaves the list until then. Back next week - ### Dependencies Available "Blocked by": cards wait for other cards. A hint on the card while something is open, a notice when it can start, and a page with every blocked card. No Gantt chart. Covers: Card dependencies Video: the milestone plan is ticked off – the kick-off meeting that waited for it is no longer blocked. Blocked until done ## Automation - ### Card repeater Available Creates a copy of a card every day, week, month or year – with description, labels, assignees and due date. Covers: Card Repeater Video: the weekly social media plan is set to repeat every Monday – a copy of the card then arrives by itself. Every Monday, by itself - ### Automation Available Rules (trigger, conditions, actions), schedules, and card and board buttons that move, label, assign, comment on cards and more. Covers: Butler Video: a card moves to “Review” – a rule assigns the lead, sets a due date and writes a comment. Rules do the rest ## Collaboration - ### Voting Available Everyone can give one vote per card. A count on the card, who voted, and a ranking as a board page. Covers: Voting Video: on the votes page, one vote given and one taken back – and the ranking of the ideas turns round. The team votes - ### Read me Available A board page that explains the board: purpose, how it works, links. Simple Markdown, edited right on the page. Covers: Read Me Video: the board’s read-me page gets one more line, edited right on the page. How this board works ## Reporting - ### Card aging Available Cards without activity fade over time (or turn yellow in pirate mode), so forgotten work stands out. Covers: Card Aging Video: weeks pass on a board, and the cards nobody touched fade to grey. Forgotten cards fade - ### Dashboard Available A board page with counters and charts: cards per list, label and person, overdue, done this week, a weekly trend. Covers: Dashcards Video: a board’s dashboard follows along while the team finishes two cards – open, done this week, per list. Numbers in real time ## Integrations - ### Links and cloud files Available Attach files and items from Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box, Dropbox, Evernote, GitHub, GitLab, Zendesk, Salesforce, Figma and YouTube to cards, with previews. Covers: Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, Evernote, GitHub, GitLab, Zendesk, Salesforce, Figma Video: a Google document is attached to a card and shows with its icon and name. Files from the cloud - ### Chat notifications Available Send new cards, moves, completed cards, comments and cards due soon to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat or Discord. Covers: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Discord Notifications Video: a board is connected to the team’s Slack channel in a few fields – new, moved and finished cards are sent there. News in your chat ## Fields and structure - ### Package tracker Available Tracking numbers on cards: Swiss Post, DHL, DPD, UPS, GLS, FedEx and more are detected, with a link to track the parcel. Covers: Package Tracker Video: a tracking number on a card – the carrier is recognised, with a link to track the parcel. Track the parcel ## How Power-Ups work Board admins switch them on and off on the board’s Power-Ups page; switched off means hidden, not deleted. Off means hidden, not deleted Switching a Power-Up off hides its data; switching it on again shows it. Same rules as the core Every Power-Up change is checked on the server like any other change to the board. Loaded only when used A board without a Power-Up never downloads its code, so boards stay fast. No third-party code Power-Ups are first-party. Your board data is not shared with add-on vendors. ## Questions and answers ### What is a Power-Up in Contals? A Power-Up is an optional feature that a board admin switches on for one board, such as the calendar, automation or date polls. Turning it off hides its data without deleting it. ### Do Power-Ups cost extra? No. As of October 2026 every Power-Up is included in every plan, the free plan too. ### Which Power-Ups replace Trello’s? Calendar, List limits, Card aging, Card snooze, Voting, Read me, Dashboard, Package tracker, Card repeater and Automation (like Butler) cover Trello’s most used free Power-Ups; the countdown is a setting of Due dates, and custom fields and checklists are built in. ### Can I install third-party Power-Ups like in Trello? No. Contals Power-Ups are built by the Contals team only, so board data never goes to add-on vendors. Other tools connect through the public REST API and the MCP server. ## Switch on your first Power-Up. [Start free](https://app.contals.com/login?mode=signup) Free for small teams.
