I would like to automatically post a comment on a card every 3 months

[Melis Ogutcu Brechot]

Can I put in place an automation that is not triggered by an event in Trello?

I would simply like to post the same message on trello every 3 months. 

Thanks

@Melis Ogutcu Brechot it will need to be a bit more complicated than that. You'll probably need to make a "trigger" list and then make two automations to do this. 

1. Create a scheduled automation to select the card every 12 weeks

Note: you'll use the filter icon next to "each card" on the Move cards action to set the name, like this: 

2. Create a rule to post the comment

And then make a rule so when a card is added to that list, trello posts a comment you set: 

Let me know if that makes sense, I can record a loom if that would help!

Hi @Melis Ogutcu Brechot 

Yes, this is possible. When on your Trello Board, simply click on the "flash" icon called Automation on the top-right of the board. Then click on "rules".

Here, you can select "scheduled" to make a scheduled automation that does not trigger only after a Trello-Event. 

If you need more help with creating the automation, let me know.

Best wishes,
Mara

Thank Mara, I don't see the option to comment on a specific card.
