How can I make the system, not a specific user, run automation rules?

Question

As I understand it, automation rules in Trello are tied to users. That means every time actions are executed by an automation rule I wrote, the folks who receive notifications about those actions see my name as the one who did the actions. But it's not really me who did those actions; it was Trello automation.

Hey @Scott Stilson Oh I got it! I have gone ahead and created a feature suggestion for you! That's the best way to get our Product team aware of user's are asking for.

You can access the suggestion through this link: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/TRELLO-1356

I have also added this post as an internal comment to this suggestion so that way our engineering team can reference it and also use it to help align priority. I would also recommend you visit that suggestion, log in with your Atlassian account, and click Start watching this issue on the right panel and vote.

This will help our product and engineering team understand more about which functionalities our users are interested in. Also, when the suggestion is updated by our product team, you'll be notified via email.

You can learn more about this by reading our Implementation of New Features Policy:

Hope this helps!

@Luciana Munhoz, what's the best path for turning in a product suggestion?

Thanks, but truth be told, I didn't really intend this to be a how-to question; instead, I meant it as a product suggestion. What’s the best path for turning this into a product suggestion that you folks will actually consider doing?
