Automation: Moving a card to a list trigger "start date"

[Gus Sayed]

I have 3 lists: 

List A

List B

List C

Within the lists, I can have cards that will automatically get created in List A using an outside automation, and it will be placed in List A.

Once the card is created, it will have both Start Date and Due Date.

I am trying to get the card to move from A to B as follows:

Once the card "Start Date" matches today's date, Action: move the card from List A -> List B

I do have an automation in Trello that moves the card from List B -> List C once due date is reached (matching today's date), but every time I try to set rules like:
- When a start date less than 1 day from now is set on a card in list A, move the card to the top of list B

Or

- When a start date less than 1 days ago is set on a card in list A, move the card to the top of list B

But neither works. Any solution to trigger moving the card based on the Start Date?

Hi Gus, :)
Hope you are doing well,
I am Rishabh from the Trello support team, Welcome to the community!!

The reason your current automations are not working is that they are set to trigger when a start date is set, but in this case as your cards already have a start date before moving to this list, they won't trigger the set trigger.

Can you try these alternatives, and see if this resolves your issue:


Please not that above will only work for the start date which already satisfy the condition when the card moves to this list. 

Do checkout "Due date automations" section in Trello as well.

Let me know how it goes :) 
Thanks
