Trello email reporting - add number of items complete/incomplete in any checklist.

[Adrien Devismes]

I'm trying to add a variable to my Trello email reports that shows how many items are completed and how many are incomplete in any checklist on a card.

Can you help me with this? I'd like to see the number of completed and incomplete items directly in the email.

Thanks you

Hi Adrien, welcome to the community!

You can definitely add variables to your Trello email reports to display the number of completed and incomplete items in any checklist on a card. Trello's automation system provides specific variables for this purpose.

To show the number of completed and incomplete items, you can use the following checklist variables in your email automation:

• {cardcompletechecklistcount}: This variable will display the number of items that have been completed in the checklists on the card.
• {cardincompletechecklistcount}: This variable will show the number of items that are incomplete in the checklists on the card.

For more details on how to use these variables, you can refer to the Trello automation variables documentation.

Hello Erick, thank you for your answer.

I've already used the variables {cardcompletechecklistcount} and {cardincompletechecklistcount}, but unfortunately, they show us the number of checklists that are complete or incomplete, not the number of items that are complete or incomplete.

For example, we have 3 checklists on our card. 1 checklist is completed with 3/3 items checked. The other 2 checklists are incomplete because 1/3 items are checked.

So when the email automation progresses, I will receive the following variables:
{cardcompletechecklistcount} = 1
{cardincompletechecklistcount} = 2

But we need to know how many items are checked in these checklists.

On the page regarding Trello automation variables, https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/automation-variables/

they clearly state:

{cardcompletechecklistcount} : The number of complete checklists on the card.

{cardincompletechecklistcount} : The number of incomplete checklists on the card.

but I would like to know the number of complete items in any checklists on the card, as well as the number of incomplete items in any checklists on the card.

Am I clear in my explanation? Please tell me if it's not understandable.

Thank you so much for helping me.
