I’ve been trying to streamline task management in Trello for a small content team, but automating the movement of cards between lists like “Draft,” “Review,” and “Published” is proving tricky. Multiple team members often update the same card, which sometimes breaks the automation rules.

For context, we use this setup for our website, Modern Food Catering to manage content planning and publishing efficiently. Are there proven ways to structure boards or automation rules so that multiple users can work on the same tasks without conflicts? Any guidance or real-world examples would be really helpful.

Hi @modernfoodcatering 

 

Building automations that are robust in a system that is so free and open like Trello is a bit of an art-form. I would need some more specific examples of automatons triggers and actions to be able to give you some guidance here.

 

I would really recommend considering some expert advice and the best place to start is here:

Some even offer a free introductory call 😉
