    • How can I select multiple cards in Trello and move them to another board?

      I frequently see people asking about how to select multiple cards at once in Trello. The typical use case is to move lots of cards from one board to another, or one list to another. There is no "select multiple" option in Trello (because there is also not really any notion of "selecting" cards) but you can quite easily…

    • Hands free Trello card creation with Siri Shortcuts

      Siri Shortcuts (previously Workflows) has really improved over the past couple of years and one of the biggest improvements I've seen is the ability to run a shortcut using a voice command. My favourite Siri shortcut is to create a Trello card in my Inbox list using voice dictation (I used to do this with a hack via IFTTT…

    • Trello Subtasks with Butler

      A common request on the Atlassian community is to track progress on subtasks, for example assigning checklist items to people or adding due dates to checklist items. As discussed in this article, a great way to do subtasks in Trello is using a checklist, with each item linked to a card:…

    • Introducing Trellinator: Automate Trello with Google Apps Script

      UPDATE 2023: Hi all, unfortunately changes in Google Apps Script have made it very difficult to register the webhooks we need to in order to run Trellinator. We were kind of keeping up with some workarounds for a while but recent changes in the editor have made even those workarounds untenable. We have developed a…

    • The joys of connecting a Google Form up to the Crmble Power-Up in Trello

      Even though I write automations all day, every day for my clients I was still just receiving an email notification whenever someone filled out the request for quote form on the BenkoBot website (plumber with the leaky taps anyone?) The Google Form email notifications really suck, you can't see any information about the…

    • Task shortlisting with Trello

      Hi y'all, I've created a "manual edition" of my Hooked on Zero task prioritisation system and added it to this board: https://trello.com/b/ZQ3WCXVZ/hooked-on-zero-manual There's a video screencast showing what this looks like here (also linked in the board): Hooked on Zero Screencast The thesis here is that, rather than…

    • Building Mini-Habits with Trello and Siri Shortcuts

      If you haven't heard of Mini-Habits, the basic idea is that you can establish habits slowly over time by setting very low expectations. If you want to meditate for 20 minutes, set a daily goal of meditating for 1 minute. If you want to run a marathon, start with a daily goal of walking 5 minutes and so on. The key to…

    • Exciting new feature in the iOS Beta Testing App: Switching Accounts!

      If you're not already on the Beta Testing App on iOS, you can get there by going into your account settings and tapping on "Be a Beta Tester". When you first do this, you'll go to a page to install TestFlight, once installed, however, you'll go to the page to actually sign up for the Trello Beta Testing program. I did this…

    • Mindless tasks made easy with Trello, Butler and Siri Shortcuts

      In every household there's a long list of mindless tasks that need to be done periodically. The tendency is to put such things into a roster or calendar to be shared but the problem with these tasks and calendars is that if you don't do them according to the schedule, the *offset* until you do them the next time shouldn't…

    • How to send emails directly from Trello to your Crmble contacts using Benko

      To celebrate the recent "official" launch of both BenkoBoard and BenkoDesk, I thought I'd share a new integration I created recently for one of my clients for whom I setup the wonderful new Crmble CRM for Trello. In case you haven't seen the news, Crmble is a power up released recently that allows you to add CRM features…

    • Outsource your parenting to Trello and Siri Shortcuts

      Every day my daughter needs to practise her spelling words for school. She gets a list from the teacher and she needs someone to read them out to her, while she writes them down. The trouble is that at about the time she needs this in the afternoon, whoever is taking care of the kids that day is up to their elbows in soapy…

    • How can I see all my Trello cards in one place?

      I quite frequently see questions on the Atlassian Trello Community along the lines of: "I have created a bunch of boards and now I want to view all the cards from those boards in one place" Trello doesn't have a "native" way to do this. There is the Cards view which shows you a list of all the cards you're a member of in…

    • Simple way to create re-usable checklist templates in Trello

      I answer this question quite a bit, so I thought I'd post it in an article that is indexed by Google and maybe that'll help people find this info more easily :) A common thing people want to do is have a bunch of template checklists that they can reuse over and over. However, when you add a checklist and "copy items from",…

    • Trello Subtasks with Trellinator

      A while ago I wrote a "master/slave split" command in Butler that was quite a popular example on their support board, and subsequently implemented a similar function in my standard Benko Board Trellinator commands. However, while doing some work for a client I created this more generic "Subtasks" system that I thought some…
