How do I apply a rule to existing cards/boards?

[Leslie Bishko]

I've created rules and applied them to two boards. All the cards that I want to apply the rules to have already been created. How can I now direct the rules to be applied to the existing cards?

The rules are working when I create a new card, I just want to apply the rule retroactively to existing cards.

I've got a lot of cards!

Thanks,

Hi @Leslie Bishko ! Welcome to the community :)

What's the rule you've created? Butler rules can definitely be applied to existing cards, there just needs to be some sort of trigger applied, whether that's a change to a card or a button is pressed, etc.

Hi @Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows, I think what he meant is that he wants to run a rule action that would be triggered before the rule was created. Do you know if that's possible?
