6 min readUpdated December 2024
Automation rules consist of two main components: triggers and actions. Triggers determine when a rule should run, while actions define what happens when the trigger fires.
Common Triggers
Triggers are events that start your automation rules. Choose from a variety of triggers to match your workflow needs.
- Card moved - When a card moves to a specific column.
- Card created - When a new card is added to the board.
- Due date reached - When a card's due date arrives.
- Tag added - When a specific tag is applied to a card.
Common Actions
Actions are what happen when your trigger conditions are met. You can chain multiple actions together for complex workflows.
- Move card - Automatically move the card to another column.
- Add tag - Apply a tag to the card.
- Assign member - Add a team member to the card.
- Send notification - Alert team members via email or in-app.
