I would like to set up an email notification to board members when a new card is added to the backlog list.  When I go into automation to try and create a rule, having selected a trigger ('when a card is added to backlog'). there is no option on the 'Select Action' to add email addresses in order to action this new rule ?Trello Question.jpg

Hi Jason!

The "send an email notification" action is indeed available, but it’s tucked away in the Content tab.

Here is exactly where to find it:
After setting your trigger, go to the Select Action section.
Click on the Content tab (the icon looks like a speech bubble).
Scroll to the very bottom of that section. The last option is "send an email notification to [Email address]".
Enter the email address, subject, and message, then click the blue "+" button to add the action to your rule.
