Trello - Slack - Text message

[Borja Sas González]

Hello everybody. I have Trello linked with Slack. What I want to do is that when a Trello card is expired for a day, Trello will send a message via Slack to a channel created for that purpose. I can do it without problem, but I only get the text message that I put in, but it does not refer to the title of the card. That is, if I have five cards that have expired, and the text says "Please review this card", that text appears 5 times, without being able to relate. Is there any way to indicate in the text to put the title of the card? Any tag?

Hey @Borja Sas González 

Yep you can do this with variables https://help.trello.com/article/1157-variables

Here is a video to explain how to set it up (I've started it at the right point for you but feel free to watch the whole thing if you want more context)

Thank you very much, @Dan Ivory 

I'll watch the video. The only thing, the link you gave me with the variables does not work for me.

@Borja Sas González strange, that link doesn't seem to be opening because it's adding some extra characters to the URL when you click it. I've removed them now so should work, if not, try copy and pasting it into your browser as it is the correct link
