HOW TO SET A COVER COLOR ON MY TRELLO CARD AUTOMATICALLY

Mattis PASSARD

Hello,

I'm using the Trello Power-Up that allows creating a card with Gmail (new email = new card).

I want all the cards I create on this board to have the red color as their cover color.

I'm using the Trello MAPS on one of my Trello boards that lists all my cards of all my board (sync 6 Trello’s Board), the other cards are not created automatically but through a template with a color.

I haven't found a rule that would allow me to change the background color of a card when creating it.

Thanks You,

Mattis P.

Hi,

You can use Trello automation in combination with the Trello API. Its slightly more advanced than a normal automation...

Ensure notifications are on because I will put this out as an article by the end of the week and I will share the link on here.

Thanks You Mike for your answer,
I have never use the Trello API, I'm using simple Power-Up by Trello. I'll try but have you some steps ?

I have found on https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/rest/api-group-cards/#api-cards-id-put :

"cover": { "color": "x",

I dont know today how to set.values but it is the good way ?

Thanks you,

Hi @Mattis PASSARD

Here is a reply to get you going, I will put this into an article soon...

Firstly, make sure you check out this video:

Here is an automation command that will match the card cover to the label colour...

when any label is added to a card, put to url "https://api.trello.com/1/cards/{cardidlong}?key=[enteryourapikeyhere]&token=[enteryourtokenhere]" with payload "{\"cover\": {\"color\": \"{labelcolor}\", \"size\": \"normal\"}}"

Hi @Mike - Dreamsuite Consulting

I'm new here, I managed to extract the API Keys and Tokens, but I didn't quite understand where I should apply this "automation command" code...

I looked for the article on your page and couldn't find it, could you help me?

Thank you!

PS. I've tried this, didn't work:
