Trello Butler Automation Ideas for a Board
Suggest automations and write them in plain rule form.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Suggest Butler automations for this Trello board. Lists and labels: [LISTS_AND_LABELS]. Repetitive actions the team performs: [REPEATED_ACTIONS]. Due-date habits: [DUE_DATE_HABITS]. Team size: [TEAM_SIZE]. Give up to six automations ranked by value over effort, ending with the one to build first. For each: a name, the trigger (for example when a card is moved to Done), conditions, actions, minutes saved per week with your assumption stated, what a user will see when it fires so nobody is surprised, and a risk. Example (invented): when a card is moved to Done, mark the due date complete and remove the Urgent label. Write each rule in plain words first, then in Butler command style only if confident of the wording, marking [VERIFY] when unsure. Explain the difference between rules, card buttons and board buttons in two sentences [VERIFY in our version]. Avoid automations that notify people more than they help, and say which ideas should not be built because they would confuse the team more than they save. Test on a copy of the board, and say how to turn a rule off if it misbehaves.

Invented list. 1. When a card is moved to Done, mark the due date complete and remove the 'Urgent' label (saves about 20 seconds per card; 30 cards a week is 10 minutes). 2. Every Monday at 09:00, create a 'Weekly review' card with a checklist (saves 3 minutes a week). 3. When a card is added to Blocked, add a comment asking for the reason (saves chasing). Ranking by value over risk: rule 1 first, rule 2 second, rule 3 third because it may add noise. Test on a copy of the board and review in two weeks.
