How can I automatically assign all the cards own by a team member to a different one?

Question

We have multiple Trello cards on different boards, all assigned to a specific member who is no longer working, so we want to assign all her Trello cards to another team member. Is there an easy way to automatically assign them to a new owner?

We have a premium account.

@Marilu Najera You might also want to check out the Bulk Actions Power-Up. It's meant specifically for doing things like this! There is a free plan, but it has a limited amount of bulk actions you can do, though it might be enough depending on how many cards you have! It's also very affordable (i think as little as $1 board) if you do need the premium version.

This could be done by an automation but it would have to be done on a board by board basis.

* You create an automation button, I'll call it Reassign User
"Move each card assigned to member @[old member] to list "Temp"
* Create an automation
"When a card is added to list "Temp", remove the member @[old member] from the card, add the member @[new member] to the card and move the card to list {cardpreviouslistname}

Once it is done, you can remove the automations and also the Temp list!
