Automation not working

[Grzegorz Plewka]

I created the following rule, so that when a name of the list changes I want all card to loose blue label. However it doesn't work:

Hi @Grzegorz Plewka,

Thanks for your question! The rule idea makes sense, but unfortunately, Trello automation (Butler) currently does not support triggers based on list name changes. That’s likely why your rule isn’t firing—changing a list name doesn’t register as an actionable event in Butler’s trigger system.

Here's what you can consider instead:

Option 1: Manual Button (Workaround)

If list name changes are rare, you can create a Board Button like this:

• Trigger: When button "Clear Blue Labels" is clicked

• Action: Remove blue label from all cards in list {listname}

This way, whenever you rename a list, you can run the button manually to clear labels.

Option 2: Move-based Automation

Butler does support triggers like:

• "When a card is added to list X"

• "When a card is moved into a list named X"

You could combine this with renaming logic—e.g., have a convention for renaming lists, and use a move-triggered rule to act accordingly.

Let me know how frequently you're changing list names or if you're open to using Butler buttons or external automation tools like Zapier for more flexibility. Happy to help set it up!
