I'm looking for an automation route that would allow me to assign a checklist item to someone then create a linked card on that assignee's board - then ideally once the assignee completes the task the original checklist item would be marked complete.
Hi @Jill Barton ! It looks like there isn't a trigger for "when a checklist item is assigned to a member". You can reach out to Trello directly here if you want to ask if it's planned for the near future.In the meantime, you could create separate checklists for each person - e.g. if an item is added to the "Jill" checklist, then convert the item to a linked card and move it to Jill's board. This might not be the best option if you have a lot of members that need to be involved in this automation, however. If you only have a few members on the board, this could be an ok method. I'd recommend having it so the checklists are added to the card automatically on card creation. E.g. a card is created with empty checklists "Hannah" and "Jill".An alternative option is to include that person's @mention in the check item name - e.g. if an item starts with @Jill, then convert the item to a linked card and move to Jill's board. People might forget to add the person's @mention in the name of the check item, so you could create another rule that notifies the person when the item doesn't start with "@".Not the best workarounds 😕 hopefully that helps, though!It is also possible to update the checklist item when the card is complete using a separate automation. If you think one of the workarounds could work for you, I'd be happy to help with setting it all up! There are a few steps involved in the workflow so we could look at sharing screens if you'd like 😊 here's my calendar.
