  • @Jennifer M You could set the value on a custom field whenever something happens that involves the card, here is a Trellinator function that would do this: https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/738061d4beea6def3edbe0574c1b576a You can read more about Trellinator here:…
  • @[deleted] I don't mind the suggestions, but they hide when you start typing something which is a faster way to apply a label anyway, ie. hit the "L" key, type the first letter of the label name, hit enter
  • @[deleted] this google chrome extension does what you're looking for: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/next-step-for-trello/iajhmklhilkjgabejjemfbhmclgnmamf?hl=en Obviously it will only work in Chrome, on the desktop. It won't work in the mobile apps. Also, it will only work for people who have this installed in…
  • @Dave Gambrill it's not possible to get notifications for actions you take, but you can set up a second Trello account, invite it to the board and then use the email to board address of that account to forward into the board. Since you're using Gmail already the simplest way to create this second account is by aliasing…
  • @Daniel McGee nope sorry I don't know how to search within teams without using the API
  • @Austin Hahn another thing you can do is create sub-tasks from within the checklist by having linked items: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-articles/Trello-Subtasks-with-Butler/ba-p/1060392
  • @Eduard Kolesnyk the Unito power up has a good range of sync options
  • @Dan Andersen I don't know of any power up but here's how I would design the system: 1) One board is your stock control board, you have one list per item type, one card per item, each item has a due date set on when it will become available 2) Another board is your orders board, you create one card per customer order. This…
  • @Daniel McGee the Trello search API has a "team ids" parameter, that's the only way I know how to do it, here's the implementation of my searchCardsInTeams function in Trellinator: https://github.com/iaindooley/trellinator-libs/blob/master/TrelloApi.js#L8
  • @Josh Thayne You can read all about permissions on boards here: https://help.trello.com/article/791-changing-permissions-on-a-board
  • @Austin Hahn I created an integration called Benko Board which primarily is about integrating Gmail with Trello but also has the added benefit of creating a linked card for any card you're added to or when you are mentioned in a comment -- this gives you a better notification and card view experience compared with Trello…
  • @debbierusso this is usually because it initially attempted to send to those addresses before they existed and got a bounce back, and subsequent sends are blocked to improve deliverability (I think Trello use SendGrid which does this automatically). At any rate, you need to email support@trello.com to get this resolved.
  • @Joyce Carluen you can choose to watch a board or a list and you'll see notifications about any event: https://help.trello.com/article/799-watching-cards-lists-and-boards
  • @Susan Hewitt instead of merging 2 templates, what about moving cards from one board to another as they go through these different "branches"? I did an implementation at one point that had a similar issue: throughout the life of a card (which was a feature in a software project) it would simultaneously go to two different…
  • @Ian Wells If you create a Google Doc in your account, it's not accessible by anyone else unless you explicitly share it with them (or make it public) so the default is for it to not be readable by anyone except yourself
  • @Kate hey sorry for the delay, just watched the vid, that error message is pretty definitive: can't find checklist on card, link provided, click the link, checklist is there, copy/paste error unlikely. Hmmm .. did you hear back from support yet? If this still isn't working here's a Trellinator command that will copy all…
  • @Colin Kuecherer okay so if I understand correctly, what you want to be able to do is say something like "show me cards that hit list X on date Y" right? The only way to filter cards on a board is using due date, so if you're using due date for something else then you're out of luck. However there are a couple of solutions…
  • @Daniel O-Connor the only way to include start and end dates for tasks is using the custom fields power up, but you can also set start/end dates in Placker which is a great charting tool for Trello.
  • @Matthieu Bonnici when a user is added to a card as a member, they automatically "Watch" the card. There is also an option when you add a comment to watch the card, which is ticked by default but you only have to untick it once. If you're watching a card, you receive notifications about everything that happens, which makes…
  • @Colin Kuecherer there doesn't appear to be any match based on custom field date value. I think that what you're seeing is a title or text field match, that's why you're seeing 1 or 2 but not the rest.
  • @Ian Wells nope, but you can put any sensitive information into a Google doc and link it to the card, that's generally what I do
  • @Chris Chou as per my comment below, this is what Benko Board does: https://trello.com/integrations/#benkoboard It's main pitch is that it integrates Gmail with Trello so you can send/receive emails from Trello, but in addition to that it unwatches any card you're added to. This has the effect that you will only be…
  • @Thibault Molleman Hmm in that case I think you should have 2 lists (or 3) ToDo, Doing, Done. Then all you need to do is have one Butler command like: When a card is moved to list "Doing" sort the list by due date You can then just move cards in and out of the list to the left or right depending on whether it's finished or…
  • @Tony Morgan nope this isn't a particularly easy thing to solve, and you can't even fetch this email address using the API, so there's no way to build automation that gets it for you. I haven't found a solution beyond savings the card email address as a contact that allows you to do this any faster. It's also particularly…
  • @Bellevue Fine Art Repro well, one way to get a ding is to trigger a notification. A notification can be triggered. So for example if you wanted to get a noise whenever some event happened, you could create a card called "Pavlov" and then everyone can watch that card. Then you have a rule like: When a checklist item is…
  • @alberto geron yep you can watch a board, list or card as required to get whatever notifications you want: https://help.trello.com/article/799-subscribing-to-cards-lists-and-boards
  • @Ramil in order to create a board that people can see but not edit, the best way to do it is to create a team viewable board with commenting permissions for team members. That way only members of the board can edit cards, but everyone on the team can see and comment.
  • @Claudio Calabresi you can't access the database, but you can access the API and put custom fields into a spreadsheet. This Trellinator script would create a Google Sheet with all the card names, links and custom fields: https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/3a51bced1b1ae6d83ab6d4f7199954c6 You can read more about Trellinator…
  • @Thibault Molleman > Because for the first 2, it'd be just one command if I could have 'due date CHANGED' or something. instead of 'added' and 'moved' The "due date is set" trigger deals with both added and changed so the first rule you have is already redundant > And for the last 2: if I could have Added/removed instead…
  • @George my guess is you can't have write without read. The list is comma separated: https://developers.trello.com/page/authorization
