In order to get started, you must configure your Power-Up.
To configure a Power-Up for a Trello board:
In Trello:
1. Go to your Trello board.
1. Select **Power-Ups** and find the **GitLab** row.
1. Select **Enable**.
1. Select **Settings** (the gear icon).
1. Select **Authorize Account**.
1. Enter the [GitLab API URL](#get-the-api-url) and [personal access token](../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md#create-a-personal-access-token) with the **API** scope.
1. Select **Save**.
1. Go to your Trello board
1. Select `Power-Ups` to see a listing of all the available Power-Ups
1. Look for a row that says `GitLab` and select the `Enable` button
1. Select the `Settings` (gear) icon
1. In the popup menu, select `Authorize Account`
## Get the API URL
In this popup, fill in your `API URL` and `Personal Access Token`. After that, you can attach any merge request to any Trello card on your selected Trello board.
## What is my API URL?
Your API URL should be your GitLab instance URL with `/api/v4` appended in the end of the URL.
For example, if your GitLab instance URL is `https://gitlab.com`, your API URL would be `https://gitlab.com/api/v4`.
If your instance's URL is `https://example.com`, your API URL is `https://example.com/api/v4`.

from Trello.

1. In the top-right corner, select your avatar.
1. Select **Edit profile**.
