Looking for a way to repeat a card on a specified cadence to a different board

[Preston Johnson]

Hello, I am looking for a way to copy one static card from one board to a completely different board. I am wanting this to happen on an established cadence, ie. weekly,monthly, daily.

The use case for this is as follows. On my reporting board I have a cards that represent a report that needs to be pulled. This board houses all of my reports. Some reports will be pulled by different staff, so I am wanting to copy each report card onto that specific users main task board on the day that the report is due.

Originally I was going to use the Card Repeater power-up, as I thought I would be able to repeat the card to a different board, alas I am unable to. I am looking for a solution to this that doesn't involve mirroring the cards either, as I want the card that is copied onto the persons task board to be untied to the original card. Which I want to remain untouched. Thank you!

Hi Preston! You should be able to achieve this through automation. Specifically a schedule command. Something along the lines of:

"Every week, copy all cards in the "Report" list to boards X, Y, and Z"

There are different ways to lookup the cards you want to copy, e.g copy cards with the "report" label. 

Let me know if you need any more detail around how to set that up 🙂
