Power-Up Approval Automation

[RenoT]

How could I setup a rule in Butler, that when I bring a card into "For Approval" List. the card will be automatically assigned Approval Person by using Approvals Power-Up?

Hi

The only power-up field which can be managed by butler is custom field.

You can create customized fields to assign approval person.

I see, this is kind of sad, I really like the power-up "Approvals"

The concern in Custom Field is, even you add checkbox as for approval, say NameA, NameB, NameC etc., any one of A/B/C could mistakenly click the wrong checkbox; in Approvals, the account owner only can check and approve under his/her name since other name checkbox was blanked already.

So back to top of my question, still looking for a way to automation the card when someone brings into "Submitted for Approval" list, Trello would automatically give "For Approval" Label, re-setup due to 4 hrs later, and give the default name as approval name on card.

I guess I found the way in my case, create a card template, and always create the card from that card template...

An another possible way

Add a checklist titled Approvals to the parentcard. 

Each item of this checklist corresponds to an approver.

Create a board for each approver. 

Convert all the items into linked cards. 

Dispatch each linked card in appropriate board

(for this use pattern, wildcard & appropriate name, 

• cardname = itemname [parentcardname]
• boardname = itemname

When a card is done in the personal board, check the item in the checklist approvals. 

When the checklist is complete, move the parentcard to "approved" list.

I see, thanks, Ludo...
