No Notifications for Completed Checklist Tasks

[Danny Turato]

Good evening,

I'm writing to inquire about the lack of notifications when a deadline for a task within a checklist is met. I have all notifications activated in my app permissions, but I'm not receiving any alerts, neither through the app nor via email.

Is this the expected behavior, or is there a specific setting I need to adjust to receive these notifications?

Thank you for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,

Danny Turato

Hi, Danny.

Yes, this is expected. The action of marking a checklist as completed will not automatically send a notification. However, you could setup some Automation to do that for you: https://help.trello.com/article/1198-an-intro-to-butler

Came here looking for answers just like OP Danny. This answer seems to go against this post from 2022: 

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-articles/Notifications-for-Advanced-Checklists-are-here/ba-p/2180411 

In that post it said:

Now, you’ll receive notifications for Advanced Checklists if:

• You are assigned to a checklist item
• A due date is added or changed on a checklist item you’re assigned to
• A due date is coming up or past due for checklist items you’re assigned to

That aside I decided on trying to create a rule; I am not able to find the proper parameters / actions to say "when i an item is checked".

After any such trigger there is no action to A) notify assigned member or B) notify _____ member.

In case B) I would fill in the appropriate member name.

With the fill-in option I would be able to make a rule and duplicate it for each member. While that may not be the best/ideal it would work. 

Anyone out there that has made any such rule(s) please advise.

Hi Delroy! You're right about a Premium Subscription with advanced checklists. However, it does not notify you when a checklist is marked as completed.

Regarding the automation, this might be helpful:

Understood but i have assigned members to checklist items, no email. Assigned a due date, no email. Even added time and told the system notify X hours; still no email notice.

I am working on a few methods that need fine tuning.

EG:

"when an item is checked in a checklist named "<< NAMEOFLIST >>" in a card assigned to member @membername by anyone, send an email notification to "email@domain.com" with subject "Task Complete" and message "An Item in the checklist << NAMEOFLIST >> is assigned to you was completed. To view the checklist click the link below.\nhttps://trello.com/c/boardurl"

Is there a way for butler to pull the board URL automatically?. The notification I made also does not work if I don't specify the list. I was hoping to make it for the whole board.

Delroy,

Automation does support {boardlink} variable: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/automation-variables/.

Regarding the list, where are you specifying it?

Thanks for this was able to make further adjustment to my notifications.

Still want to annoyingly point out that the advanced notifications that were announced do not work.
