@Ann_B_ Depending on which calendar you use, you can use Zapier to create a card when an event is created, or when it's due. If you created a card when an event is created, for example, you could also use Butler to notify you when the card is due.

@Floortje If you're planning projects, rather than using Calendar as your ad-hoc gantt charting tool, I'd recommend trying Placker which has fantastic Trello integration: https://placker.com/

@MB I wrote this article about sub-tasking with Butler: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-articles/Trello-Subtasks-with-Butler/ba-p/1060392 You could use the same basic principle to trigger the creation of a card from the next checklist item, so you'd have your type of activity as the card, eg. "My Activity Name"…

@millerj2 my fave powerup for doing this type of planning including assigning points and tracking capacity by member is Placker which has not only a powerup but also a standalone web application: https://trello.com/power-ups/590f10d117d6ebad37ed3dd5/projects-by-placker

@Dominic Lussier the only way to control access is with different boards, but you can control certain information within a board by linking out to an access restricted document on Dropbox or Google Drive for example.

@Giles_Camargo since @Mike has confirmed this isn't available, if it's something you still want to achieve something like this Trellinator function will do it: https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/8e0b962ff1a3a1ea599df8db7ccee5bd You can read more about Trellinator here:…

@[deleted] I'm not seeing the same thing, can you post a screenshot?

@Dima_D that is really strange. The "app" in question is just a script inside your own Google account. Are you opening the script editor and choosing Publish -> Deploy as Web App? You made a copy of the spreadsheet right? Are you able to use any other Google Apps Script projects? Because the way Trellinator works is that…

@Dima_D can you post a screenshot of the message you're seeing? I tested setting it up with a free Gmail account after your last message and it worked fine. The only problem with free accounts is the quotas are much lower than paid, and when you run out of quota for the day everything stops working. But if you're not that…

@Jim Chiazzese I don't have business class so I've not used the checklist assignment feature yet!

@Jim Chiazzese I wrote an article about creating sub-tasks as a linked list here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-articles/Trello-Subtasks-with-Butler/ba-p/1060392

@Gilberto Rigotti if you need access restrictions *within* a board, (ie. certain members of the board should have limited access to certain attachments) then I'd recommend using a cloud file storage solution (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox etc.) then attaching links to those cloud files, onto the cards.

@Mark D oh actually I can test it by creating a card and setting the description to the variable instead of sending an email. Indeed none of the card*inlist variables seem to be set. Seems like a job for support@trello.com what do you think @Torben_trello ?

@Mark D I don't have a paid plan so I can't test it

@Gilberto Rigotti so you're referring to people who are members of a board being able to access all attachments on the board, and the need to restrict access to certain attachments, only to certain board members?

@Dima_D see my comment here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-questions/Re-Re-How-to-automate-the-connections-between-two-cards/qaq-p/1332732/comment-id/23021#M23021

@Dima_D I think the issue is that you're doing this from a free Gmail account, so it gives you the "app unverified" warning (even though technically this is an app that you're creating for yourself). You just need to lick "Advanced" and "Proceed" in the bottom left. If you do the setup from a paid G-Suite account you don't…

@Brijendra_Singh the Trello API just returns HTTP error codes if anything goes wrong, but with descriptions like "RATE LIMIT" or "TOKEN API LIMIT"

@Mike Pickering Can you walk through the steps you used to set up the automatic forward?

@schavez I'm not sure if there's a published limit on members, but you might find that you can't add 2,000 observers. You can't have a link that works only for an organisation unless everyone you're going to send it to is a member of your team. If you have a list of emails you could use this Trellinator function to bulk…

@Всеволод Гиренко to answer your questions one-by-one: 1. The way I think about this is that the work has been agreed upon, that is "we have decided that this stuff needs to get done" 2. I move things to Doing, when I've decided that I will start work on this thing, it is an active task, being discussed and worked on now…

@Richard_Price hey! I actually created a little recurring task product that I thought might be useful for accountants the other day, what do you think? https://www.loom.com/share/ba54257373794a1fa969b948be366b71 It's written as an automation using Trellinator:…

@dande.prasad there's no native way to do this, but the following Trellinator function would invite all members of a Google Group to a board by email: https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/f0aed2352300a640e3839cdf27a391f6 You can read more about Trellinator here:…

@Patrick Eissler You won't be able to do this with Butler, but here's a Trellinator function that would do what you're after: https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/0e810a4625865d9f13b86878a8641b42 The Trellinator user would need to be a member of both boards, and you'd install the above function on the Products board. When…

@Lennard_Tittgen okay and what should the Job Complete button do? For example, if you create a Butler button called "Job Complete" then Mike clicks it, how does Peter then also click it? How is that stored? Do you add both members to the card? What's the real world nature of 2 people having completed a job that you're…

@Lennard_Tittgen what's your definition of "finished a job"? How is that indicated?

@Roan Cruz well, if you're watching a card without being a member of it, you'll get notified when anything happens on the card. Isn't that enough? What you seem to be after is some way of knowing which cards haven't had notifications on them for some time, is that right? If so, perhaps you could set a due date to remind…

@Sylvia Krohn the rule triggers when you add the due date to the card and the due date is in this week. If you want it to trigger when a card is due, you need to create your command in the "due date" section of Butler rather than the "Rules" section.

@Shannon_Lee in addition to adding active links to the description/comments using markdown as outlined by @Antonio Panea you can also attach a link to a card using the "Attachment" button or just by copying a link, hovering of the card and pasting (using ctrl+v or cmd+v depending on your platform). If you mean adding a…

@Roan Cruz oh actually sorry the subscribed field in the card object tells you whether or not the querying member is subscribed to the card. So, conceivably, you could use the API to add a label to every card in every board that you're watching.
