How to send a notification email with card title on it?

Jasreen Rubeni

Hi Trello Community, 

 

I manage to add a send email notification butler rule whenever a specific label is applied. However, it sends a generic email message. Is there a way to set it up where it shows the title of the card on the email message (see below)?

Hi @Jasreen Rubeni 👋

Welcome to the Community! It's a good question... Butler offers a report feature that you could run and potentially link it to the specific labels you speak of so you get an Email notification on set days.

A recommended read would be: https://help.trello.com/article/1192-creating-reports-with-butler as this walks you through the setup and how to add more content or customize the report by specifying the 'using pattern' option (click on the pencil icon). The pattern is applied to each card in turn, replacing any variables with the content of the current card. For example:

create a report with all cards in list "Done"
using pattern "- [{cardname}]({cardlink}) ({cardmemberusernames}) {{%Priority}}"

You can create multiple reports in one command, and you can name the variables so that they can be used together. (Report variable names can only contain basic ASCII characters: letters 'a' to 'z' without accents, numeric digits, underscore.)

Example using multiple reports:

every friday at 11:45 pm,
create a report in variable "Doing"
with all cards in list "Doing"
using pattern "- [{cardname}]({cardlink}) ({cardmemberusernames}) {{%Priority}} => DUE on {cardduedate}",
create a report in variable "Done" with all cards in list "Done"
using pattern "- [{cardname}]({cardlink}) ({cardmemberusernames}) {{%Priority}} => DONE on {{%Completion Date}}",
and send an email notification to every member of the board
with subject "Report for week #{weeknumber}"
and message "Doing:\n\n{$Doing}\n\nDone:\n\n{$Done}"

I hope this helps but shout if you have any more questions 😃

All the best,

Laura
