Can I build an automation with "OR" statements for multiple variables?

I'm going to be setting up a number of automations for my company's boards, a lot of which rely on certain variables like custom fields or labels being moved into particular lists. 

In one example, I want to create a rule that if a card with labels (A) or (B) is moved into list (C) or (D) then send a Slack notification. Is there a way in which I can combine these into a single automation or do I have do build each possibility as its own rule?

Hi there,

 Thanks for reaching out!

Right now, it's not possible to create an automation with an "OR" statement. If you build an automation with a trigger with multiple card attributes, such as:

when a card with the green X label, with the yellow Y label is added to the board...

The automation would look for a card with both X label and Y label.

With that said, while the "OR" statement functionality isn’t currently available in Trello, I have gone ahead and created a new feature suggestion for you with our product team which you can access here: TRELLO-1494.

I would also recommend you visit that suggestion, log in with your Atlassian account, and click Start watching this issue on the right panel. This will help our product and engineering team understand more about which functionalities our users are interested in. Also, when the ticket is updated by our product team, you'll be notified via email.

You can learn more about this by reading our Implementation of New Features Policy.

ℹ️ I can also see that you have a Trello Enterprise subscription! This means, you get access to priority support. If you'd like to continue discussing automation options, I can create a ticket on your behalf 👍 Otherwise, feel free to create a ticket at https://support.atlassian.com/contact/ if you ever need 😊

Thanks,

Lara
