Cascading cards, task Completion and archiving mirrors.

Prestige Bot
August 13, 2026

Okay here's the scenario I am trying to Create and Control:

Mirror or copy cards into two specific places and then upon completion of a checklist archive both mirrored versions of the card. 

Here's the real life application:

We have a board named "Weekly Meeting."

In that board we have a list called "Rocks".

  • Rocks are large projects we are trying to accomplish small portions of each week for the next quarter (or until it is complete) 

In the "Rocks" list we have templated cards with two checklists

  • Checklist 1 = milestones. Big checkpoints/accomplishments towards getting the rock accomplished. 
  • Checklist 2 = Rock ToDo's.
    • This checklist would be ideally used as a running task list that I connect my automations to. 

The Current Execution Attempt:

Assignment Creation:

  • During our meeting we add a new item to the checklist "Rock ToDo's" 
  • We push a button made to specifically mirror that card to: 
    • The ToDo list in the same "Weekly Meeting" board.
      • (This list is simply an accountability list. If the item does not get accomplished that week, it is still there for the leadership to question why it's not done in the next weeks meeting.)
    • The inbox of the employee it is assigned to. (Each button is specific to that person.)
      • The reason for mirrored (or copied) cards is to bring all of the information and context of the large scale assignment to the persons board.

Assignment Completion: 

  • The person completes their task and checks off the item in the "Rock ToDo's" list which completes (or re-completes) the list (since we are only assigning one task each week) 
  • Based on the checklist being completed it should archive both mirrored cards but leave the card in the "Rocks" list there for review and more assignments the next weeks meeting.

The Problem: 

I cannot seem to wrap it up with a bow. I have everything built and functioning except the archive functions upon completion. The automation "When checklist "Rock ToDo's is complete --> Archive the card" seems to be too simple and doesn't do the trick. I also want to avoid the original rock card being archived. 

The Solution: 

I am open to whatever version of this chain of events would work. I am not fixed to this process. If there is a better way I will chase that path!
