I'm not sure what got it stuck in my head, but for some reason this week I could not stop thinking about how to schedule comments in Trello. You know, sometimes you're late-night updating Trello boards, but don't want to send notifications to everyone at off hours. (Just me burning the midnight Trello candle?)
And I didn't think there was a power-up or any solution for it. I thought maybe I could figure it out with Butler, but no such luck. But I did end up finding a solution with a little help from my friends. Aka, my other favorite tools in my toolbox (PixieBrix and Zapier).
Here's what it looks like:
