Trello Butler - Is it possible that the current user join a card when the card is moved to a list?

[Malvina Pauchard]

Dear Community,

Is it possible that the current user joins a card when the card is moved to a list (and not me as I built the rules)?

For example, when a card is moved into the list "In dev", the person who moved the card should automatically join it (and not me). I tried the following but I'm always the only one joining the card.

when a card is moved into list "In dev" by anyone, join the card

Best,

Malvina

Hey @Malvina Pauchard

Yes, this is possible, using Butler's Variables .

You'll want to create a rule like:

when a card is moved into list "In dev" by anyone, add member @{username} to the card

Hi @Felix , 

Unlikely add member @{username} to the card doesn't work at you need to precise the name of the member to add.

My goal is that the developer that is pulling the card from the backlog to the list "In Dev" is automatically assigned to the card (so I know who is developing it).

Best, 

Malvina

Use "{username}" (literally that, don't replace it with the username, Butler will do this for you when it runs the rule).

Butler will replace "{username}" with the username of the Trello member who triggered the rule.
