How can I consolidate items from multiple cards?

John McQuiggan

I use a separate Trello card for each of 10 one-on-one meetings I have regularly. Besides my notes of each meeting, each card contains a checklist of agenda items and a checklist for follow-ups from the discussion. Unfortunately, that gives me 10 separate cards with follow-up checklists on them. Any suggestions for consolidating those follow-up items on one list that I could call up to see the items I need to follow up on from all my meetings?

Some thoughts I've had:

1) Create a new card with the follow-up item without closing the "meeting card" I'm working in.  Is there a way or a power-up to do that?

2) Automatically generate new cards from each follow-up item I put on the checklist. Is that possible?

3) Re-think my scheme of using a separate card for each person I meet with. 

4) Suck it up and keep using the consolidated follow-ups list that I've been manually updating.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi John,

with the Butler Power-Up you can do a lot of automations in Trello, and certainly the kind of automations you are thinking of.

The workflow you are describing contains a number of steps, so it is too much to describe here. But if you want an experts opinion on this task and advice how to implement it, feel free to get in touch with me. Contact info in my profile.
