Is there a way to automate the colour of a cover to change as it moves to each list in a flow?

[Lorna Leonard]

Using the template funel with Crmble , each list is colour coded , I would like to automatically change the colour of the cover to match the new lists cover colour scheme.

Eg Cold Leads are Blue , Warm are Orange, so if I move a lead card from Cold to Warm I would like the cover to auto change from blue to orange.

Is this possible? and if so how do I do it?

Thanks

Hey Lorna,

I'm not aware of a way to change the colour of the card 'cover', but you could do something with Butler to either:

• Add or Change the 'label' on the card to one of a different colour (puts a label with the desired colour on the card front)
  OR
• Add or Change the 'sticker' on the card to one of a different colour

I think the first option would probably be most appropriate. If you want to do this:

1. Go to Butler > Rules > Create Rule
2. Click 'Add Trigger'
3. Select the trigger that you want (in your example it would be 'when a card is added to list 'list name' by 'anyone'
4. Click the green plus button
5. In the next part, select 'Add / Remove' and choose which label you want to 'add' and add a rule to 'remove' all of the labels you don't want.

The idea is to remove unwanted labels and add the ones you want when you move it to the list.

Hope this helps!

Same. We want to be able to automate the color based on the label. Feel like this should be a thing.

Absolutely agree 100%.  This is a no-brainer.  We need to automate the color of a card so we can instantly identify the status / category of it.

Yep. This would be a great feature! I've just being trying to work out how to automate cover colors. But I see it's not possible.

Mainly interested in this idea due to the recent label pastel colour changes which don't pop or allow easy scanning across cards.

2023 and this feature hasn't been added. I feel like it would help a lot of people
