E-maill notifications when tagging myself

Maaike Evers

Im mainly working in Trello and Email. I use trello as an activity log. Sometimes I want to be able to tag myself and receive an e-mail about this, to put it on my todos in outlook. However this does not seem to work. Can someone provide me with a solution of how to be able to tag myself and receive an email notification about this? 

 

Thanks!

Hi Maaike,

I think there's two ways to do this. One is through Labels. 

1. Create a new Label with your name or some other signifier
2. Start creating an automation based on Rules
3. Trigger - Card Changes -> When the [Your signifier] Label is added to a card
4. Action - Content -> send an email notification to [Your email]

The other one is through Members

1. Start creating an automation based on Rules
2. Trigger - Card Changes -> When @ [Your username] is added to a card
3. Action - Content -> send an email notification to [Your email]

You can then enhance the sending of the subject and content by adding variables. You can find them here.

Assuming you want to add the card name and card description, you can use the variables {cardname} and {carddescription}.

 

I hope that these work, if not, let me know and I can look into it further.
