Setting up notifications

Question

I'm not able to set up notifications of any kind when there is movement through lists.  I've done that test notification, which works though.

Thank you!!

Hi @Gary Island Daze

Sorry for misunderstanding you the first time!

This can be done with Butler, but only by creating an email rather than a notification. you can set Butler up to email you whenever a card is moved into a list, you'd need to set it up for each list and double if you wanted another one to say it had been moved out of a list.

However, there is another way to do it depending on how you want to view the information. You can set up a Butler command to post a comment to the back of the card whenever it's moved, but I don't know if this would notify you. You'd have to have a fiddle and see how to get it working.

This is a list of all the command variables that are available https://help.butlerfortrello.com/article/27-variables

If it was me, I would play around with something that looks like this:

Or maybe:

You might have to set this up for all lists, which would take a while, but you could do a test rule for one list and see how it works?

It's the only two things that I can think of at the moment! I'll keep thinking!

Esme,

I've done all this.  I am getting email notifications for due dates, but not for moving cards from list to list.

Very odd.

Thanks for your help!

Hi @Gary Island Daze

How odd! Can I go through the process with you?

This is what I did on mine:

Click on 'allow desktop notifications'

Chrome will show a pop-up, click 'allow'

Then the option to 'allow desktop notifications' will disappear.

Can you have a look and make sure you've done that?

Thanks

Esme :)
