Get Column
Tool to get the details of a specific column from a Kanbanize board. Use when you need to retrieve column information such as name, WIP limit, card ordering, or workflow configuration.
Why this helps
Unclear column limits or workflow settings can slow decisions and create avoidable back-and-forth.
- Surfaces column details in response to a real question
- Helps ground workflow decisions in board settings
- Cuts down on hunting through configuration

- 2Create an automation with one instruction to retrieve the relevant column details when a Slack message asks about its workflow or capacity.
- 3Select Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with one actual column question.
