Copy Board with Select Cards - using API

Question

We have created an Onboarding Template board using Labels to identify those cards which are unique to a given role.  We would like to use the API to:

* Copy the template board to a "Welcome Joe" (or whatever) board
* During the copy process select from the Labels on the template the one appropriate for Joe's role* possibly be able to select more than one

This would generate the 'Welcome Joe' board with only those cards identified / selected from step #2.

As I understand, the overall API programming problem you describe is quite generic.  However the specific details you want like removing cards with (configurable) labels will make this a custom programming job.

If you don't do this action very often (e.g. once a month), you can also copy a whole board and delete all cards not matching a label manually.

I gathered that this would require programming using the API.

I was reaching out to the community to see if anyone had tackled anything like this before.  I am assuming the copy board functionality through the API would be pretty straight forward.

It was more the automatic removal of cards without a selected Label and removal of all specific type labels that was more concerning.  And if anyone had experience doing something like this.

@Alann DemeesterThe workflow you describe could be implemented using the Trello API.  This involves some programming.

Is there anything specific you'd need to be answered?
