Help troubleshoot my automation?

Monique vdB

My automation is failing with an error but no information on what is going wrong.

every saturday, copy the cards in the most recent list called 
"Done 🎉 Week of {dateshort}" with the label "RPT" to the list "Mo - This week"

The error I get is "Something went wrong. We couldn't generate an automation from your prompt. Please try again."

Here's what the lists look like on Saturday - I have an automation to generate the next week's "Done" list on Sundays, and it works great.

Hi @Monique vdB, the AI prompt builder most likely couldn't parse the sentence, so I'd build the rule by hand.

1. Create a Calendar rule that runs every Saturday.
2. Add the copy-cards action (the wording may differ), filtered to the label RPT, from your Done list to "Mo - This week".

The catch is the list name. On Saturday a plain {dateshort} gives Saturday's date, not Sunday's, so it won't match. The date arithmetic page says {date=0wd} is the Sunday of the current week, and you can add a format after ~:

I'd try "Done 🎉 Week of {date=0wd~MMM D, YYYY}" for the name. It should match the {dateshort} style, but I haven't tested it, so compare it with an existing list name first. The emoji has to match too.
