Trello Inbox: Allow Butler to create cards in new Inbox section

Daniel Schnitterbaum August 26, 2025

Currently, I use a Butler rule on my Trello board that triggers whenever I add a checklist item inside a specific 'Project' card. For each item added to the checklist, Butler automatically creates a new card in the 'Inbox' list of the same board. This helps me break complex cards (which I call 'projects') into smaller, actionable subtasks and quickly see them appear in my workflow.

However, this only works for the 'Inbox' list within the same board. Butler cannot create or move cards into the new 'Inbox' section at the top of Trello, which is now the central, cross-board Inbox for all tasks. Since the new Inbox is a core part of the Trello experience and critical for productivity, it would be extremely valuable if Butler could support creating cards directly in the new Inbox section, even for users on the free plan.

This would enable help leveraging the Inbox in the way it is intended in the UI.
