Is there a way to automate cover colors?

[Peter Cranston]

Afternoon Folks,

Would really like this functionality to use as part of my bulk import process which configures new cards using Butler. I see this was discussed back in 2020 with dozens of requests for this Cover colour functionality. 

Reluctant to go down the API coding route at this time as I think this is a feature that should be in Butler.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter C.

@Peter Cranston I am afraid to say this is still not possible with automation. However, there is another workaround which you can use instead of using REST APIs and here are the steps:

1. Go to Google and search for the colour you want to add in the card's cover (eg. Red)
2. Find the image and copy the image address
3. Now go to you automation and add your trigger and for the action add the image link:
