For whatever reason, Trello is not allowing me to turn on my automations in any new boards that I have set up.

It keeps throwing the following notification:

I have exist the program and logged back in and still to no avail...

Hi @Donna sorry that you're experiencing issues with turning on new automations!

I suspect you may have hit a limit on the number of automations that can be enabled at one time. As a first step, I would suggest reviewing any enabled automation rules that you no longer need, and turning them off.

If you're still experiencing issues with enabling new automations, feel free to log a support ticket with the team at https://support.atlassian.com/contact

Ensure that 'Technical issues and bugs' is selected, and under the 'What app is this for?' section, type in 'Trello' in the search bar.

If the built-in automations aren't working for you, you could try using Power-Ups instead. I personally use Board Assistant (https://trello.com/power-ups/685016dd47b5654ae385bba6) for this kind of stuff.
It has some handy features like managing members in cards automatically or adding comments when things change. They actually just added a feature to mirror board structures to other boards, which might be useful since you're setting up new ones. The developers are pretty active and usually open to suggestions if you need other specific automations added.2026-03-17_13-09_2.png2026-03-17_13-09.png2026-03-17_13-09_1.png

It will only allow me to enable one automation with one library...

This is so disruptive to say the least - not sure how much time we have lost as a business this year on the functions being tappered/updated and not being restored properly after works have been conduct in the background.
