checklist automation

[Melanie Nobs]

we use the checklist mainly to assign the next to do's in a smaller project to different people. it would be great if when an item in the checklist is checked that would trigger an automatic notification to the person who is assigned to the next point in the list. is this somehow possible?

Hey @Melanie Nobs - welcome to the Community!

Sorry that the advice above wasn't for Trello. As a Standard customer, you can raise a ticket with our support team to discuss this at https://support.atlassian.com/contact

Sure you can do this.

Your trigger would be "When field Changed"

Here are the smart values that can be used to see what has changed.  You can use those to identify what was checked and who to move the ticket to

{{changelog}}

• Used with: any triggers that edit an issue. 

This smart value accesses the changelog, and a list of changes for each field. For example, when an issue is transitioned you can see what status the issue transitioned from.

 Learn more about using smart values with sections and lists.

Available properties

• {{changelog.summary}} - Changelog information for the Summary field.

• {{changelog.issuetype}} - Changelog information for the Issue type field. 

• {{changelog.status}} - Changelog information for the Status field.

Examples

This example returns the new value of an issue's Summary field after it has been changed.

{{#changelog.summary}} {{toString}} {{/}}

This example returns an issue's previous type, after it has been changed.

{{#changelog.issuetype}} {{fromString}} {{/}}

This example shows the previous status for issues that are transitioned.

{{#changelog.status}}{{fromString}}{{/}}

This example shows the previous status id (for use in another Edit action)

{{#changelog.status}}{{from}}{{/}}

thanks a lot! It might be because I'm still quite new to trello, but I don't see where I could integrate those values?

the trigger that seems most appropriate in my case is the one marked in the screenshot below, but it's not quite that neither

[Kim Euker]

I missed the fact that this is Trello. I would say that you are correct.  The Trigger above is likely what you want.  You could use {{checklistname}} to determine the next asssignee

oh ok, thanks for your help anyway. 

the thing is that it's not a checklist or a specific checklist item I'd like to select, but the person assigned to this specific checklist item...
