Moving a card to another list based on a future date

Anna Williamson

Hi there, 

I'm looking to create a new rule/automation. 

I've got a Today list. All the cards on this list have a due date of today. 

Sometimes, if I don't get around to a task and I want to move it along a few days maybe to like next week or something. 

When I manually update the date, I want it to move to another list automatically but I can't figure it out?! 

I should say that I don't use times only dates, which might be causing the issue when I try to do "more than one day" for instance. 

Please can you help?

@Anna Williamson If you want to have lists:

Today
Tomorrow
This Week
Next Week

when a due date less than 1 days from now is set on a card, move the card to the top of list "Today"

when a due date between 0 and 1 days from now is set on a card not due today, move the card to the top of list "Tomorrow"

when a due date in this week is set on a card not due today not due tomorrow, move the card to the top of list "This Week"

when a due date in next week is set on a card, move the card to the top of the list "Next Week"

I would also suggest setting up due date commands so that cards move between the lists automatically based on their due date (e.g. when a card is due today, it moves to the "Today" list). 


What about for cards due after next week? You could do a couple of different things:

1. Create a card button that when triggered, it sets the due date for 2 weeks from now and puts in the "Later" list.
2. Create a rule that moves cards to the "Later" list when the due date is more than x number of days from now
