Can anyone help me the simplest solution for this.....
I have a board that is a weekly planner - lists for Braindump, Monday, Tuesday etc and then a Snooze List
I have an automation that pulls in my meetings from my booking system and adds them to my braindump list...
I want to automatically move these cards from the brain dump and if they are in the current week - add them to the list for the right day - if they are in the future - I want them to move to the snooze list and then move from the snooze list to the right day of the week the Friday before it is due...
Does what I want to achieve make sense?
@Lyndsey Fletcher when the automation puts them into your board from the booking system, what distinguishes them from other cards and what information on the card reflects the event date?
@Iain Dooley This is what I have managed to do so far!
when a card is added with a due date then set 2 customer fields to due day of the week and due week of the year. That’s is working perfectly now.
the next step I want to try to simplify so I don’t have tons of rules and I don’t have to keep changing the week of the year within the rule every week?

@Lyndsey Fletcher you might not be able to reduce your total number of rules but have you tried using a variable for the week number instead of hard coding it?

@Iain Dooley I am using the variable. So far this is what I have done, it works.... but it means going in every week and changing the week numbers...
when a due date is set on a card, set custom field "Due on Day of Week" to "{cardduedateweekdayname}"
when a due date is set on a card, set custom field "Week of the Year" to "{cardduedateweeknumber}"
I would like a simpler way as I have another question around how to share boards and rules with multiple people in the most cost effective way! But I will probably ask that question separately!

@Lyndsey Fletcher you should be able to use arithmetic with your variables to avoid updating hard coded values:

Thanks @Iain Dooley
How would you write the rules for this scenario using this? I am not an expert and it is making my head explode!

@Lyndsey Fletcher I know that Brittany Joiner and Hannah Morgan (Simpla Workflows) and Sunny Lim (millynus on the community forum) do paid Trello consulting that may include Butler automation.
I don't do paid Butler consulting, but do run a Trello automation platform that can be used to code more complicated automations that aren't possible with Butler:
It requires coding, though, so if you find you can't achieve what you want with Butler then you can let us know and we'll put you in touch with a developer who can set it up for you on BenkoBot.
