  • Hi @Cody L Yes this is possible with Butler, however not in the way that you want it. You can create card buttons labelled 'Move > 1' 'Move > 2' etc, however, they would show up on every card, there isn't a way to hide buttons, e.g., if a card is in List 1, there isn't a way to hide 'Move > 1' You can have a custom field…
  • If you already have cards in the board that you want to have emailed to you, or to test whether this works or not, simply either remove the due date and re-add it (it won't work for any card on the board that already has a due date set, you'll need to remove it and add it again), or create random cards with due dates to…
  • Hi @venthpar You can do this with a Butler command/rule using the variables found here If you use that, it could look something like this in Butler: Obviously the 'something' would be the email address you want to send it to - but in this example, I have the board name as well as the card name as the subject of the email,…
  • Hiya Alaina Just to add to @Mirek's answer, this is what I've got set up every time I make a new card: For clarification, the CC stands for 'card created' so that I know when I made the card. I used to have this in a comment, but I like being able to see the CC date on the front of the card - this is a 'custom field.' I…
  • Hi there! You can use a Butler Card button to do the same thing, if you name it 'Archive' it should show up at the top of the 'PowerUps' list on the right, which might mean that it would work better. If I was setting up an 'Archive' card button, I would set it up like this: Of course, you can add more 'actions' to this,…
  • Hi Eden, I use the Card Repeat PowerUp all the time however, as far as I know it's the only way to repeat cards. I agree, if the card is delete then it won't repeat. To get around this, I have a specific list that only has my repeating cards (basically so they're all in one place), so that I make sure they don't disappear…
  • Hi Robert, The changes should be shown for you as you have Chrome, if others have the Chrome extension, in theory, they should be able to see the colours as well, however I use Trello on my own so I can't say 100%! To change the colours of the links, click on the 3 dots in each list and add the colour to 'background…
  • Hi Miguel, The grey label never shows up on the front of the card as it is classed as 'no colour': Hope this helps! Esme :)
  • Hi Robert I have different coloured lists, and I have these by using Chrome and enabling the Pro4Trello extension which can be found here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pro-for-trello-free-trell/hcjkfaengbcfeckhjgjdldmhjpoglecc?hl=en Mine looks like this: I also found this website really helpful when trying to…
  • So in this example, I have 1 command (the click of the button) and then 8 operations. This quota is taken out EVERY time you run a Butler Command, click a Board Button, Click a Card Button, every time a calendar command runs, and every time a due date command runs, so in the beginning, be careful about what you run and…
  • Thanks Zuzana! I had the free version for about 2 weeks, then I went to Gold for about 2 weeks and now I've been on business since late January! I have the education plan because I'm a Master's student, so it's not quite as expensive as the full paid business plan, but I still get all the same perks! If you're ever unsure…
  • Hi Zuzana, You are most welcome! Woohoo for your first rule! I will point out that I have the paid version of Trello, and I am aware that previously there were limitations on Butler commands, and I know you wanted to do it for free, so I'm not sure if your business is on the paid Trello plan which means you won't have the…
  • I will point out though, if you have due dates already set on cards and you want those to come into the 'desktop' board - you have to go through each board & card and remove the due date and add it back again. This command only works on 'new' due dates, so anything that already has a due date, won't work! Just thought I'd…
  • Hi Camiel It looks like Dashcards aren't available in Butler at the moment. When the page you sent me was written it was last year, before Butler was bought by Trello, however on this page you can see that Butler doesn't support Dashcards (as of 27 June), however someone else commented on this with their version that might…
  • And this is how another annual one looks, this time for birthday planning:
  • Hi Dawn, I have linked cards all over the place! This is one that I have for annual payments and it's a card button but the premise is the same. Every time I click this button there are things that I want to happen on the original board, as well as things that I want to happen on the linked cards. Hope this makes sense:…
  • Hi Camiel, I'm not familiar with the term dashcard, could you let me know what you mean? As much detail as you can give the community would be welcomed so that we can make sure we help you as much as you can, also including what you're trying to achieve. A lot of us are Butler nerds (I count myself in that), so I'm sure…
  • Hi Chris, Could you give a little more information on this? I'd love to be able to help, as I'm sure a lot of other people would, but it would be great to have a teensy bit more to go on! Esme :)
  • Hi! I have a 'desktop' board that everything feeds into, meaning that anything I need to know about on any of my boards (I have a few) comes into one place. I run a Butler command for 100 days (I like to be prepared!), it looks like this: Admittedly, I have a lot of lists that I have Butler running on in the desktop: So…
  • That would work! I have mine set up at 12.05, 12.10, 12.15, then I know for sure cards due today are in today, tomorrow are tomorrow and later are later! I have the later at 12.05, then tomorrow at 12.10 then today at 12.05 to make sure that if anything happens to go into the wrong one, it's caught and moved into the right…
  • Hi there! You could use a 'day' calendar rule here, which might look something like this: I don't have a 'later' list, I have an 'Upcoming' list, but I would imagine your 'later' list and my 'upcoming' list are doing the same thing. So if you ran all the others on a Monday, then you could run this one on a Monday as well…
  • @A.C. Ivory I've created a Butler Board Button with each list that I would like to order listed on it. I believe Butler only allows around 15-20 to be added, but if it's under that many, just add the separate lists to a Butler Board Button like this:
  • Hi Jamie I have a master board, I call it my 'Desktop' as its the one that ALL my other boards feed into. I use Butler rules to make sure that everything comes into my 'Desktop.' I use Trello as an individual (although I have Business), so I would think that a rule along the lines of 'when a card is assigned to me...copy…
  • Hi there, Trello offers an education discount (I have it). Details can be found here https://help.trello.com/article/1133-educational-discount Esme :)
  • Hi Brett, This is something that's been asked for, for as long as I can remember, and it's still something that Trello doesn't have. The only way around this, which isn't really a work around, but it can work, is to use the Calendar Power Up as well as Cronofy to change the start and end dates of the event within Google…
  • Hi Benji, In my experience it's better to have the checklist specifically linked to make it work. I use mine to insert a checklist for my BodyPump workouts, so that I can see how I'm improving my weights, but the example works. This is how mine looks: The reason that I have this is so that if I change the checklist, the…
  • Hi Joey This can be done if you use the Butler Power-Up. You can create a card button that appears on the back of a card that you have open called (whatever you like really) 'labels gone' and if could look something like this: So you would be able to add ALL the labels you have on that board to one button and then when you…
  • Hi Sophie, I use these all the time - but they're under Calendar options within Butler, not rules. I do mine every Monday morning, so the 'this week' and 'next week' are actually this week and next week, not days from now because I got far too confused! This is what mine look like: I also have a 'today' one: Hope this…
  • Hi Dane, This can be accomplished using the Butler Power-Up and making a rule. The trigger should be 'when a card is added to the board' and then you can pick whatever time you like by clicking on the little clock icon and picking from a number of things that they give you: You can alter anything with a box around it, so…
