Sprint stand-up
Tom Reilly, engineering lead at Northwind, asked what was in the Doing column. Memtro listed the cards with assignees, due dates and checklist progress.
Favro + Memtro
What is in the Doing column on the Favro sprint board?
Favro connects Memtro to your boards and backlogs. It reads collections, boards with their columns and lanes, and cards with assignees, tags, dates and checklist progress. For one card it reads the description, comments, checklists and activity, and it lists the organisation's members. When asked and granted, it can create, edit, move, archive or delete cards, comment, add checklists and tick their items, and create tags, columns and boards. With events on, Favro tells Memtro when a card is created or moved, and a job can start on it. Events come from one board, which you name.
In Memtro
What you can do with Favro in Memtro
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Favro tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
What it does
- 01Lists collections and boards with their columns and lanes, and cards by board, column, number or your to-do list.
- 02Reads a card's full description, comments, checklists and activity log of moves and edits.
- 03Lists the organisation's members with names and roles. Email addresses are never passed on.
- 04When asked and granted, creates, edits, moves, archives or deletes cards, and creates tags, columns and boards.
- 05When asked and granted, comments on a card as you, visible to everyone who can see it, and adds, ticks or deletes checklist items.
- 06With events on, a card created, a card moved between columns or a new comment on the watched board can start a job.
Acts when asked
When you ask it to
These tools change something in Favro. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
- 01Create a card on a board or in your to-do list
- 02Edit a card: name, description, assignees, tags, dates, or archive it
- 03Move a card to another column or board, or add it to another board
- 04Delete a card
- 05Comment on a card
- 06Edit a comment
- 07Delete a comment
- 08Add a checklist to a card
- 09Add an item to a checklist
- 10Tick, untick or rename a checklist item
- 11Delete a checklist item
- 12Create a tag
- 13Add a column to a board
- 14Create a board or backlog in a collection
Events
When it happens
Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with Favro for you. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. Favro signs every delivery, and one whose signature does not check out is refused before it is read.
Events and webhooks- 01A card was created on the board

In practice
Ask it like you would a colleague
Once Favro is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.
Favro + Memtro
What is in the Doing column on the sprint board?
Who moved card 412, and when?
What is left on the checklist for card 388?
Which cards on the sprint board are due this week?
Comment on card 412 that the design is approved.
Card moved to Done
At Acme Ltd, a job starts when a card moves between columns on the sprint board. It reads the card's checklists and, as granted, comments on the card listing the unticked items. Everyone who can see the card sees it, including Maya Okafor, the product owner.

Better together
Works with
A record in Favro is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.
- Engineering and operationsFavro with GitHubIssues, pull requests, code and commits, searchable by anyone who can ask a question.
- Engineering and operationsFavro with AWS CloudWatchLogs, metrics and alarms from AWS, answered in plain English with the query that found them.

An administrator grants the actions by name to the teams that may use them. For events, set the Board for events, then turn events on from the connection's Events tab.
- 4
Ask what is in the Doing column on the sprint board.

FAQ
Questions
Can Memtro change anything in Favro?+
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: create a card on a board or in your to-do list; edit a card: name, description, assignees, tags, dates, or archive it; move a card to another column or board, or add it to another board; delete a card; comment on a card; edit a comment; delete a comment; add a checklist to a card; add an item to a checklist; tick, untick or rename a checklist item; delete a checklist item; create a tag; add a column to a board; create a board or backlog in a collection. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Who can use a Favro connection?+
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Does Memtro store my Favro data?+
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.
How do I connect Favro?+
Favro login email and API token. In Favro, open your profile, API tokens, and create a token. Leave it read-write for actions. The token acts as you.
Can Favro start a job?+
Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with Favro for you. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
