Having trouble getting a trello rule trigger to activate

[Quells T]

I'm trying to set up a simple rule such that when @ is used in a new card comment, the person addressed would get added as a member of the card as well as myself. This way, we would both continue to get notified with any movement on the card.

I've set up the rule as follows:

"when @person-A  is added to a card by anyone, add member @person-A to the card, and add member @person-B to the card"

Here's a picture of that rule.

This rule never activates. I'm thinking the trigger doesn't do what I think it means...

Anyone have a clue what's going on here?

Hi @Quells T 

If it is to be triggered from the @ in a comment, you want to be using the "when a comment is posted to a card by..." trigger

This works! Thank you very much!!

I went with the rule:

when a comment containing "@" is posted to a card by anyone, add member @person-A to the card, and add member @ person-B to the card

Using just "@" as the trigger is a bit broad, but my board only has 2 members, so it's fine.
