Automatic alerts a week before due date

Question

Hi guys, I want to create some auto alerts on my Trello board to send either a Slack message or email to whoever is on each card a week before the card is due i.e. if a card is due 8th Feb, then an alert is sent to everyone on 1st Feb to say that there is a deadline coming up in a week.

@Galin Ganchev This would be pretty easy to automate using Trellinator if you'd rather not wait:

The code would look something like this:

Unfortunately, no, but this looks like what I need, so hopefully they start accepting signups soon.

@Galin Ganchev this is something you can automate with the API, in particular you could do this with Butler. Trello recently acquired Butler and they sent an email saying they're not accepting new signups while they are doing the integration into the core product, are you already a Butler user?
