Trello automation with Bizomate

A Trello board shows where the work stands, if someone remembers to move the cards. Bizomate makes a card when a request arrives, moves it when the work moves, and starts a workflow the moment a card lands in a list — and, checking every 15 minutes, when one is about to fall due. Every run leaves a record of what it did to which card.

On every plan, Free included.

What can start a workflow

Card due soon
When a card's due date is near

Due within 1 hour, 24 hours, 2 days or 7 days. Each card starts one run as its due date nears, and again only if the date changes; cards marked done, and archived ones, never do. Checked every 15 minutes, on every plan.

New card
When a card is added to a board

Publishing sets up a webhook on the board; there is nothing to paste. A card made, copied, emailed in or turned from a checklist item starts one run, in any list or the one you choose.

Card moved to a list
When a card moves to another list

Only cards moved into the list you choose, or a move to any list. Set up when you publish.

Card updated
When a card on a board changes

Any change to a card — its name, description, due date, list, or archiving it. Set up when you publish.

New comment
When someone comments on a card

A comment on any card on the board. Set up when you publish.

Questions about Trello

Why does the connection ask for an API secret?

Trello signs every event its webhooks send with your Power-Up's secret. Bizomate checks each one against it, and an event that does not match starts nothing.

Does Card due soon start a run as soon as a date is near?

It checks the board every 15 minutes, on every plan, and starts one run for each card whose due date falls within the time you choose. A card starts a run again only if its due date changes.

Can a workflow attach a file to a card?

Yes. Create a card and Update a card attach a file from an earlier step — an email attachment, an invoice your workflow made — or a link.

Do I set up webhooks in Trello?

No. Publishing adds the webhook to the board, and every publish sets it up again. Changing to another trigger or board, or deleting the workflow, removes it.
