You can check if the plugin is correctly installed in the Preferences > Plugins menu.

Usage

It is very simple.

Creating the Wunderlist export file

1. Go on the Wunderlist web app
2. Go in Wunderlist settings > Account tab
3. Click on the Create backup button
4. Download the file when it's done

Importing in Kanboard

1. Open Kanboard
2. Go to the Preferences > Import from Wunderlist menu
3. Select a Wunderlist export file (JSON format) to import, then click on the Import button

How it works

Kanboard and Wunderlist are very different, so there's some things to know about what happens to your tasks and lists in certain cases:

• Lists and folders are imported as projects
• The default Kanboard's columns are created for each imported projects (according to your Kanboard configuration)
• If a task is tagged as completed on Wunderlist, it will be tagged as closed on Kanboard
• Public lists are imported with public access active (otherwise no)
• Starred tasks will have a color of red, otherwise yellow
• Notes are imported as task description
• Tasks are created in the default column / swimlane of each projects

All the other data supported by Kanboard is imported with no problems.

Gotchas

• This plugin may broke if you update Kanboard (the plugin system is in its alpha stage, as mentioned in this article)
• Only administrators can access this feature
• Existing tasks / projects are not checked yet (this means that duplicates may be created)
• Hooks are fired for each tasks created (and also all other relevant hooks)
• The following things cannot be imported (they are not present in the Wunderlist export file):
  • Users (and of course: users assigned to tasks)
  • Attached files
  • Comments
