Hey Ellie! Did you make it exactly 7 days from now down to the date time as well? I'm assuming if you set the due date to say Dec 28th 5 pm, and today is Dec 21st, the automation will then trigger at 5 pm. If it's still not working, it could be that your Butler timezone doesn't match the timezone you're in. More details on…

Good point! Yes, the content I gave in my example might not make sense for all use-cases, so you can definitely customize it. The main idea is to use the automation to find the duplicate card using the lookup function. In terms of the actions that follow that, it's up to you! For example, you could rename the duplicate…

Hi @Lynne ! Welcome to the community :) maybe try create an automation? There are heaps of ways you could set it up, but here's one example:

Hi @Ellie Scott ! Welcome to the community :) another option that might work for you is using a butler due date command. The idea would be to set up an automation to email or slack you 7 days before a card is due. In the message contents, you can customise it based on what you need. You can also pull card details into the…

Hi @Inbal Chesner you can watch a list, and what that means is you'll be notified of any card that gets added to that list, as well as all changes made to cards within that list. However, if you're watching cards in other lists (e.g. you're a member of a card in a different list), you'll still be notified of updates to…

Hi @Troy J Heffner ! Selecting the ellipses on any list, you'll see the option "Sort by...". From here, you can sort cards based on age, the card name, or by a custom field: If you want this to happen automatically on a regular basis, you can set up commands to achieve this:

Hi @Wim ! Welcome to the community :) do you remember what the automation does? Butler has different types of commands (rules, buttons, due date, and calendar commands). Maybe the command is a calendar command? When you open Butler, on the left-hand side, you'll see the option to view/create different types of commands:

Hi @gary_shea when archiving a card, the card is still within the same board; it's just sort of "hidden". I'm not sure archiving cards will resolve the slowness. I'd recommend creating a separate board called "Archives" and moving old cards to this archive board instead. You can create schedule commands so that butler…

Hi @Jackie Muscat ! It should be possible, but it may be a bit tricky to set up. You can create cascading rules with Butler automation so that when a date is set on a card, it will update the due date on another card or multiple cards. You would need to create a card called something like "Project Start Date" to be your…

Hi @Inbal Chesner so you're wanting to have your team receive the pop-up desktop notifications from the Trello desktop app? If your team members are being added as a member of a card, and they're using the desktop app, but they're still not getting the pop-up notifications, it could potentially be related to their computer…

@近藤 真弘(Masahiro Kondo) lixiluser Sounds like a plan 😊 if you're using a few commands and your Trello usage is not massive, then 250 commands is definitely sufficient! 

Hi @近藤 真弘(Masahiro Kondo) lixiluser ! Welcome to the community :) workspace commands relates to Butler automation. If you create command to automate certain things, then every time it runs, that counts as 1 command run. Here's an article with more info on Butler.

Hi @Jeff Long ! Yes, you can definitely set that up. A few options: * Use the due date checkbox (see below next to the default due date at the top) * Create a custom field checkbox (see below under the custom fields section) * Create a custom butler button which could auto-move the card to done and complete the due date…

I couldn't see a way to create a rule saying "when someone is @mentioned, email {matcheduseremailaddress}." There doesn't seem to be a variable that will take the mentioned user's email address. You have variables for usernames though, so if everyone's username matched their emails, you could set the variable to…

Hi @[deleted] ! Good question - for the moment, there's no way to customise what you'll be notified of. It's sort of all or nothing, really. It would be great to see this as an option though if you want to submit a feature request to trello.com/contact. As a workaround in the meantime, you could turn off notifications all…

@Marjorie same! Love using the calendar view. I'm using my calendar a lot more when organising my daily todo list. Especially helpful to sync it with my Google calendar to see my meetings as well. I find using my calendar to timeblock helps me focus a lot better!

@Brittany Joiner happy to share all the tips! So important having the ability to zoom in and out; it's so easy to get stuck in the weeds and forget to look at the bigger picture, but also important to focus your mind on several tasks at a time to stay productive! 🧠

@Craig Willson (AppFox) yes, I think so too! I personally love using the calendar view to help cut out all the noise and just focus on what's important.

Hi @Shelley Barendregt ! Good question - for the moment, there's no way to set a variable on a due date. There is a way to achieve what you want through using custom fields. Here's a video demonstrating how that looks: "Syncing" due dates between linked Trello cards - Watch Video

Hi @Josef Špiroch! Yes, there are different ways to approach this depending on what you need 🙂 When you say tasks and projects, do you mean: 1. tasks=cards and projects=boards? Or 2. tasks=checklist items and projects=cards? If it's 1. then you can view cards from many boards in the Workspace Table as Laura mentioned, or…

Great! Glad that's helped :) you can customise the body of the message depending on what you need over in Slack, so I'd suggest having a play around and also checking out variables: https://help.trello.com/article/1157-variables

Hi Kyra! Welcome to the community :) Would using Butler automation work instead of the Trello/Slack integration? You could create a rule that posts a message based on a particular trigger like this:

Hi Lisa! Welcome to the community :) you can definitely do this in the desktop app version of Trello, but I don't believe it's currently possible in the web version. It would be a good feature request though if you wanted to submit it! In the meantime, you can bookmark your board, or add it as a shortcut as shown below…

Hi Santiago - so just to make sure I understand, the original checklist items are linked items? The checklist name would then be something like https://trello.com/c/xxxxxx. The butler rule would then copy over the name of the item (as in the URL) into the destination card. This is how it looks when I test it out using the…

Hi Kris! Welcome to the community :) Trello doesn't natively support changing the list orientation, however, there are Chrome extensions like List Layouts that might do what you want. What do the lists represent at the moment (i.e. status, member)? Maybe there's a different way to approach the board design so you don't…

Hi @Santiago ! You may need to add some sort of lookup function to your rule so Butler knows what card needs to be affected. Is there any sort of pattern in regards to the card that should receive the checklist item? For example, if the origin card and destination card share the same name, the rule could look something…

Hi @Deepa Ramakrishnan ! Have you looked into Unito's Trello-Sheets integration? It's proper sync between Trello and Sheets, whereas Zapier is a one-off automation. The way it works is a Trello card would translate to a row in your sheet. You can choose to map over the fields from Trello that you need (title, dates,…

Woohoo! Glad it was a reasonably easy fix! 🎉 Hopefully, Trello can fix it so it's less prone to user error 🤞

Oh, I think I may have figured it out! Tried to recreate your automation (not sure if it's exactly the same), but take a look at this: It looks like the automation doesn't work when the cursor is in the description. However, if you click out of the description THEN select the button, it works. Not ideal seeing as the…

Hi David! Welcome to the community :) do you see any errors in the command logs here? If not, maybe try copying the command, and recreating it?
