How to make automations only on individual boards, not on all boards.

Hello, I'm fairly new to Trello.

When I add automations to one board, they automatically get added to all the other boards on my account. And if I delete an automation, it gets deleted from all the boards.

Is there a way to make independent automations only for a single board rather than for all boards in an account?

I'm planning to use Trello in a somewhat unique way. I want to create individual boards for clients of mine, so it's important that the boards be completely independent of one another.

I know you can enable and disable automations, but it still would cause problems and be confusing and unprofessional if one client can see a bunch of automations that are meant for different clients.

I emailed customer support and they said this is a normal feature. Why would that be? What is the point of the "add to another board" button then? They're already added! Or what are automation libraries for then?


I'm really hoping there is some way around this. Because otherwise I'm going to have to switch to a different program.

Does anyone out there know if there is another kanban style program out there that has robust automations but doesn't link automations in this way across all boards?

Rather annoying to have to shop around...but it is what it is.

Thanks!
