Automatically add cards without a due date from a specific board to home page

Joel Wesseldyke

Is there a way to make cards without a due date flow directly to the home page? For example I have multiple boards with "do today" lists that I update daily from other lists within that board. I'd like one central location (like the home page) to see all the tasks from the "do today" list in each of the boards.

I realize I could just add a due date but to me that takes away from what I consider an important time saver -- being able to drag and drop cards from one list to another.

Hey Joel

I would recommend using Butlerbot Automation

To add custom automation using Butlerbot, follow these steps:

1) Add Butlerbot to your board here: https://www.butlerfortrello.com/dashboard.html. You need to add Butler to all boards involved in this, including the "master" board
-- A new list will be created titled "Butler", which is where you'll add your command cards
2) Add a new card to the Butler list, using the following text

when a card is added to list "Do today", copy the card to list "Do Today" on board "Master board"

then, any time a card gets added to the Do Today list, it will be copied to the master board's Do Today". It won't mirror the cards, though.. meaning it wont take any updates made from a different board and mirror them to the original card.

Then on the master board, you can archive the cards from the master Do Today list - or you can put a label on the ones you've completed and use a Butler command on the master board to automatically archive any card with that specific label at a certain time, like:

every day at 1am, for each card with a red label, archive the card
