Board Start Date and Auto Card Due Dates

Mike High

I'm trying to figure out how to setup the following:

I have standard projects that follow similar phases and default SLAs. I built a templated board that has all of the associated phases as Lists and associated tasks as Cards. All cards have a standard SLA based on the board start date (i.e. if the project starts on 6/22/23, the first card is due 3 days after the board start date).

I'm trying to figure out how to add default due dates to the Cards so that whenever I create a new board with a start date all of the Cards auto generate with the associated SLA due dates.

One of the coolest automations Trello have added is this one:

So say you have a primary project card and from that you generate all the task cards, you can set those cards up with names like "Task 1 in 3 days", "Task 2 in 1 week", "Task 3 end of the month" and automation will interpret that correctly.

There are more complex ways of handling to give you the flexibility to make things like a project plan this but it involves multiple automations.  Maybe inspiration for me to create a #mikes-trello-tips article for... 😀
