Hi everyone! I'm trying to automate my Trello board to sort whenever a card is added, moved, etc. Those have different triggers, and I have to manually add all the actions when sorting to all of them. It gets messy and confusing. I don't see an option to add multiple triggers. Does anyone know if this is possible and how to do it? Thanks!
Hi @Qwerty Qwerty ! What triggers are you setting up? In some cases you can create OR statements. If it's just the trigger around when a card is created, moved into, copied, or emailed into the board, using "when a card is added to the board" will encompass all of those.
Hi @Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows, thanks for responding! I'm also using "when a card is added to [list]", and am using multiple rules for every list in my board, because from my experimentation, the "when a card is added to the board" doesn't seem to do anything when you move a card from one list to another. Is my understanding of this trigger wrong?

Ah, I see. So that's two seperate things:
1. When a card is added/moved/copied to a board. Or when a card is added to a specific list (a brand new card is being created)
2. When a card is moved in a board (an existing card is moved from one list to another).
Do you want the action to trigger when a card is both newly created on a board AND when the card is being moved from one list to another?
And for when a card is being moved between lists, should it apply to ANY list, or just a select few?

Yes, it should be when a card is created and moved between lists. I want this to apply to all lists.

You should be able to achieve this using a regular expression. Try this:
when a card is added to list "regex:/.*(\w+).*/"
This trigger will apply to any card created or moved into any list.

Oh, didn't know you could use regex! Thanks! But I forgot to mention, I'm also using the "when any label is added to a card by anyone" trigger. I don't think those can be combined into one trigger, and based on your previous replies, it doesn't seem to be possible to use multiple triggers in one rule. Oh well, I'm content with two rules for sorting, so I guess I'll accept this answer. Thanks for taking the time to help me through this.

Yes, you're right - you'll need two seperate rules to achieve that! Should be easy to manage though and you won't have to update it everytime you edit/add a list or label. Glad I could help!
