Notifications

Question

I would like to set up a line on a check list and have it send a notification using the @ sign when that item was checked off on the list.  So that I get a notification once that item is finished.

I have it set up like this:

But it does not seem to work.

Is there a way to set it up so that it will send once the check mark is checked off as being done?

Thanks for the Help.

@Steve Hmm. You can use Butler to send emails to a fixed email address, or to members on the card, but AFAIK you can't use Butler to send emails to an email address mapped by username, so you'd have to have your emails stored in a way that mapped username to email.

So if you created a list called "Email Map" and then add cards named with the member/username and with the email address of that member in the description, this works to send them an email notification with the card title and checklist item in it, instead of posting a comment:

That worked.  Thank you.

But here is something else maybe you can help with.  We are a property management company.  We have a trello list set up for each property.  So when it sends the email when the item is checked off, is there a way for the email to show the card name that it came from, in our case the property?  The notification shows the property name, but those go away in a few weeks.  We bill our owners once a month for items like the propane tanks.   So the emails are a better way to keep track of those times.

Thank you for your help

@Steve also note that if you are a BenkoBoard user:

Then comments added by your own Butler user that tag yourself will actually put a notification card in your Inbox list (BenkoBoard is my product, it also lets you use Trello as a Gmail client but that's optional).
