card button assigning member trigger

Frankie Jones

Hi!

I want to create a card button (in Butler) that copies a card in one board over to another board but I want the trigger to be when the card is assigned to a specific board member - is this possible? I can't seem to find that option when creating a new button.

Thanks!

@Frankie Jones welcome to the community! So buttons are more for "manually" activating a task, whereas it sounds like what you might want is Rules, which activates based on criteria. 

For instance, you could make a rule that says when a card is assigned to x, then copy it to another board. 

If you don't want that to happen everytime a card assigned to x, you could make the rule to say something like "when a label is added to a card that is assigned to x, then copy it to another board", and then you can use the act of adding a label to manually trigger it. Let me know if that helps!
