@Chris Gill this is a rather annoying feature of Trello's email to board setting. If Trello determines (somewhat arbitrarily, I was never able to figure out how) that emails are related, then subsequent emails are added as comments to the previously created card. This happens even if the card has been archived, which means…

@Tim Cimmer Hey Tim that's what I do, I also wrote an automation framework for Trello called Trellinator: http://trello.com/integrations/#trellinator and an add-on that let's you use Trello as a Gmail client: https://trello.com/integrations/#benkoboard I'll send you an email now :)

@RP see above! 

@rpfs hey for some reason I got an email notification with another question but it doesn't appear above. Anyway I'll respond here: I'm now getting a similar error with a function you nicely provided on the public Trellinator board (I was also asking questions there; not sure which is considered more appropriate) I think…

@[deleted] the error seems to suggest differently. The first error says that the token is invalid when fetching the member ID, then it's failing to register the webhook with "invalid key" then the last error shows that it's trying to parse a JSON response and getting a syntax error, unexpected token "i" presumably that's…

@RP yeah the reason it failed and then worked is because you hadn't published the web app again. So when the notification came in it was executing from the previously published web app code, failing and being written to the execution queue, and then executed within 10 minutes as a retry but when it executes from the queue…

@Lilia hmm looks like the key/token aren't entered correctly in the Configuration tab

@[deleted] firstly the Trello API doesn't have permissions on a per board basis, only read/write/both, so there's no way for IFTTT to create a token that has access to only some boards. If you want to limit access to only a couple of boards, just create a new Trello account (if you're a Gmail user, I suggest create an…

@Tanner Palma linking cards doesn't inherently have any impact beyond making them reciprocally linked. So I'm not sure why the card you created is disappearing, is that perhaps a rogue Butler command? Perhaps the command that you're trying to use in order to archive one card when the other is archived, is causing it to be…

@Mel Church greetings from 3 hours in the future! You can see all unarchived cards assigned to a member in the cards view: https://help.trello.com/article/819-viewing-all-of-your-cards The problem I've always had with the default Trello cards view is that while you can see them all from there, you can't reprioritise them…

@corine2c boards don't really belong to an account, they have members and those members can be admins, and boards can belong to teams. So changing a board to another "account" is as simple as inviting a different member, making it an admin and then leaving the board. If it belongs to a team, it's important to make it…

@RP if you were able to get the initial function working from the article, then all you need to do is follow the exact same procedure as you did for installing the code under the heading "Something more interesting". If you set that thing up as a global command then invite your Trellinator bot user to will run the function…

@Kristopher LaGreca nup, there's no way to programatically access the card's email address. You have to manually copy it out and paste it into, eg. a custom field. You might like this integration I created: http://trello.com/integrations/#benkoboard It also has a plugin called BenkoDesk that allows multiple Benko Board…

@Kristopher LaGreca you can't get that email address via the API. Are you trying to streamline the process of ensuring your email communications are captured in Trello?

@Craig Pask moving lists or cards between boards is the same regardless of whether or not the boards are in different teams, you just have to be a member of both boards: https://help.trello.com/article/806-moving-cards-or-lists

@Colin this Trellinator function would create boards from a Google doc in the format: name,email1,email2,email3 https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/a2640a1ca4a3aa691b6cd85adf4c1e42 It will invite all those members by email to the boards that get created. You can read more about Trellinator here:…

@Rene LeBrun Further to what @Mirek said, if you add the library board to a team, then make the board team viewable, but disable allowing members to edit and join in the board settings: https://help.trello.com/article/791-changing-permissions-on-a-board then any team members will be able to see the board, and will be able…

@David Ward there's nothing that does this natively, but here is an example of a Trellinator command that would add all checklists from all cards in a checklist "Global" from a "Checklist Templates" board to any card created, as well as a function to retroactively add this for all cards on all boards where you've invited…

@[deleted] Trello doesn't have any built in sense of dependency, but there is a power up called Hello Epics that does the job. I also created an article on sub-tasking with Butler: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-articles/Trello-Subtasks-with-Butler/ba-p/1060392

@Frank Furman there's no way to lock them. Using the API you could automatically remove lists added by people who aren't admins for example. Might be better just to ask people not to create new lists, though. Another question might be: why do they feel the need to create new lists? Perhaps there's an opportunity to improve…

@Denise Lang are you a member of the board or is it just a board in a team you're a member of? In order for it to show up in those menus you have to actually be a member. Any board you view (team, public, personal etc.) will show up in recently viewed

@Daniel I work as a consultant systemising business workflows and every other system I've ever worked with runs into intractable problems. Like, if you do a feature list comparison, sure, those applications win, but "oils ain't oils", just because something says it has task dependencies, doesn't necessarily mean that it…

@Romain Fiorotto do you mean that you clicked on a label name and now you can only see label colours? You can click on any label colour again to display names. The semi-colon (;) keyboard shortcut also toggles showing/hiding label names on the front of cards.

@Ian Bayne one thing you could do is start by using the command importer to bring everything into the power up, even commands that can no longer be edited in the Power Up can still be imported, YMMV I haven't actually tried this but it would put you in a supported environment:…

@Ian Bayne thanks! Yeah I'd created a tonne of business systems using the bot for customers that I had to rather abruptly port over into *something* that I could produce for the same price point. Even though Trellinator isn't as "non-coder" friendly as Butler, if you're a coder you can produce implementations as (and in…

@Caroline Enye the Cards view shows you all cards you're added to across multiple boards, the problem with this view is that you can't move cards around to reprioritise them. You can use the Unito power up, or Butler for synching cards back to a central board: https://blog.trello.com/trello-unito-power-up This help section…

@RP yeah you can't do arithmetic with custom field values in the butler power up, here's a Trellinator function that does what you need: https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/ec36ef601fe3f845826078195ecca097 You can read more about Trellinator here:…

@Marcel Olmo you can use Google Sheets for that: http://www.littlebluemonkey.com/blog/automated-trello-reporting-using-google-spreadsheets In fact, it was that guy's work upon which I based much of the early work I did with Trellinator:…

@Ian Bayne hmm doesn't look like "replace the matched text" has made it into the power up. Here's a Trellinator function that does the same thing: https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/4e3c026bfa31a131fc2ced6ec9652743 You can read more about Trellinator here:…

@Lilia this Trellinator function would move all incomplete checklist items from a checklist named with yesterday's day name to a checklist with today's day name on a card called "My ToDos" on a board called "Your Board" (update the name in the init() function before calling it):…
