How do I get a notification every time I or someone changes something in the Trello description? Because it's the only thing that doesn't get to notify me. Is there a power-up or other tool that does this?

Hi @Alison Guimarães de Oliveira ! Welcome to the community :) Trello's default notifications won't notify you when a description is added or edited. However, you could create a custom notification along the lines of:

when the description of a card contains "{carddescription}", send an email notification to "hannah@simplaworkflows.com" with subject "Card Description Changed" and message "Description changed for [{cardname}]({cardlink})\n\nText before:{textbefore}\nText after: {textafter}"


You could also change the recipient to "every member on the card" if other members need to be notified.

actually, I didn't found any option like create custom notification. But I tried your method in Scheduled Automation which is also not working. Can you please help me.

On a computer... on the top bar, right hand side.... watching, rocket ship (power ups), lightning bolt (automations), filters. 

Click the lightning bolt, then rules, then create automation, then add in the information outlined above with no ""
