Automation Help for Sorting Cards by Due Date Month in Project Repository Board

[Maciej Filipkowski]

Dear Atlassian Community,

I’m working on building an automation for a project repository board in Trello. My goal is to automatically move a card to the repository when a project is moved to the list "done" in my main project management board AND would like the card to be sorted into the appropriate list or label by month based on its start or due date (e.g., September). However, I'm having trouble configuring the automation, as the date-related conditions only offer options like "today" or "tomorrow" instead of allowing me to filter by month.

Has anyone successfully set up an automation like this, or do you have any suggestions to achieve this with minimal manual input? I’d greatly appreciate any advice or workarounds to keep this process efficient. 

PS: I am on a paid plan, hence powerup tips are also welcome. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Maciej, welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If I understood your goal correctly, you can achieve this result with variables. Here's an example of a rule that moves a card to a list based on the due date month:

when a card is moved into list "Done", move the card to the top of list "{cardduedatemonthname}" on board "Board B"

You can find all automation variables here:

Let me know if this helps!
