How to Archive All mirrored cards?

[Jules Bermingham]

Hi! 

I have a trello board where I sort all my personal work for each client I support, and mirror cards from each client board to my main board for easier overview. I'm trying to see if there's an automation I can use to archive all completed mirror cards, or even move them all into my "Complete" list to be archived at the end of each month, without affecting the source card. 

For example: Client 1 has a software remediation card. I mirror it to "My Work" in the list for Client 1. It is completed on source board, where it automatically moves to the "Complete" list, and then is archived from Client 1 board's complete list after 30 days. However, the completed card still shows in the "Client 1" list on "My Work" board and automations to move to the "Complete" list or archive *just* the mirror card on the "My Work" board don't seem to apply. 

I did try the suggestion in this article, but couldn't get the action to trigger during testing, even after reloading the app view on my device.

For your ongoing automation, you can use "find a Mirror card" option in the Cascade section to find the mirror card, and then add an action to move the Mirror card to the "Complete" list or archive it. That should make this work going forward; Unfortunately, there isn't a way to archive all of the existing mirrors of completed cards on that board.

Hi There, 

Thanks for your response! I do have this automation set up, but it doesn't seem to run. I just tried again this morning. Do I need to go to the source board to mark the card complete, or can I mark it complete from the mirrored card? Image below of the current rule setup

The automation needs to be set up on the source board.
