How to use Butler Power-Up to automatically delete the image attachment on a card?

[John-Arild]

Many times we add one or more image attachments to a card to show the next person in our flow which images should be changed. Then when the process is done I have a butler button action like this:

move the card to the top of list "Terminado y Cumplido", add the green "Terminado y checado" label to the card, remove the yellow "Comenzado" label from the card, remove the red "No comenzado" label from the card, remove the cover image from the card, and remove link "https://trello.com"

Since the images we attach could be heavy and we have such an large amount of cards I wanted to strip the cards from any attachments

@John-Arild there's no way to remove attachments with Butler but you could combine your existing command with this Trellinator function to do it:

Excellent!  Do you by chance have any video that shows this?

@John-Arild there's a very long and complicated video here setting up a more complicated version of what's in that quickstart guide:

but it's ... long and ... complicated :)

I am planning on launching a much simpler way to host Trellinator code as part of the Codegeist hackathon though.

@Iain Dooley Yes, it does seem to be a little too advanced for a lot of people I think, and it seems to me one has to do  A LOT to accomplish a relatvely small task. But, I might try to understand how this works :D Thanks for your eply

@John-Arild I also do this as a service, I just charge one off for each automation.
