Automation quota : many empty automation in activity log

Lisa Curé-Ibre

Hello all, 

I have a free account on Trello and I have programmed only a few automations, mostly scheduled ones. 

I always reach my quota pretty early in the month so I took a look in the activity log, and I see a bunch of "empty" automation runs that I don't understand :

It doesn't seem to do anything and I have no idea what triggered them, does moving a card from one list to another count as an automation ?! 
I do have a rule for removing the purple "pending" label from a card when it is moved to the "done" list, but most cards don't have this "pending" label. Does it still trigger the automation ?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @Lisa Curé-Ibre 

Scheduled automations run on schedule.  So if you have a scheduled automation to run every day, but the conditions set means no actions happen, it will wtill consume 1 automation run every day.

For automation rules, they only trigger when the conditions of the rule is met so you if in your example, cards don't have a purple "pending" label, the automation won't trigger.

You can get more information about which automations are running stuff by clicking here for each automation.
