Trello automation guides
Trello uses cards and boards to give teams a clear, drag-and-drop view of their work at every stage. Its Butler automation feature lets SMBs set up rules, buttons, and scheduled commands that move cards, assign tasks, and send notifications without manual effort. It's one of the easiest project management tools for non-technical teams to adopt.
