Automation error

[sandra_aleksic14]

Hi,
I've try to the Automation section on one of my boards, and Trello showed the following error:

“Something went wrong and this action was not performed. Actions with errors are retried automatically by the system.”
Error reference: U5e4825d976402041e8851f4d_P34

Could you please let me know what this error means and how I can fix it?

Thank you!

Hi @sandra_aleksic14

Hi @Mike - Dreamsuite Consulting 

I found an error, it was from my side not from trello, when copying the board I made a spelling mistake and it could not find that board to create the automation.

Thank you, of course, but I could not have known from that error that the problem was on my side.

Hi @sandra_aleksic14 

Glad to hear it. Top tip for you...

I always recommend getting around spelling issues with Emoji's and wildcards.

Then you can have an automation:

When a card is moved into list "✅{*}", mark the card as complete.

It means you avoid spelling mistakes and it also means that you can change the name of the item, as long as you don't delete the emoji and your automations wont break

Have a great day

The error you're seeing in Trello Automation ("Something went wrong...") with reference U5e4825d976402041e8851f4d_P34 usually means there was a temporary glitch or quota issue on Trello's side. The system will retry the action automatically, so it often resolves itself within a few minutes. If the problem persists, check your workspace's automation quota and try refreshing the page or switching browsers. If you're still stuck, reviewing your automation rules for any recent changes or missing references can help pinpoint the issue. @sandra_aleksic14 If this works kindly let me know.

Thank you @Taliah15 ,

I'll let you know during the day if everything goes well.

Hey @sandra_aleksic14 I can't understand what you are trying to say. Can you again explain it? It will be a great favor for me.

Hi @Taliah15 

When copying a board from one workspace to another, I made a spelling mistake when I named the board, and when I wanted to start the automation on the copied board, Trello could not find the board under that name (there was a spelling mistake) and that's why it made a error. I hope you understand me now.
